was received in reference to the Canadian Parks and Recreation
Association's Conference to be held in Newfoundland on August
15-19th. Mrs. P. Ferguson, Recreation Co-Ord~scor, asked
permission to attend this Conference and the Committee recommends
to Council that Mrs. Ferguson be given this permission with the
necessary expenses being allowed.
2. Aurora Tennis Club -A letter was received from the Aurora Tennis
Club advising of the very poor condition of the playing surface at
the courts inMcMahon Park. The Committee requesta that Parks
Foreman, N. Weller, examine the courts and report on their condition.
The Committee recGmmends to Council that it consider giving financial
assistance to the Tennis Club for the resurfacing of these courts,
if necessary. The Tennis Club assesses the cost at $7,000. and would
be prepared to pay $3, 000 .. of this sum.
3. For information onl~: P. Ferguson mentioned that the Annual Art
Show is being held on May 7,8 and 9th. and stated that all was in
readiness and that the Show will feature a display of Mrs. Dorothy

discussion the Committee would recommend to Council that the format
of previous years be adhered to whereby a list of people and
organizations would be drawn up by the Recreation Co-Ordinator and
Recreation Administrator and presented to Council for its approval.
