Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend
to Council the following:
1. THAT Report No. CS -19 -94 be received for information.
1.0 BACKGROUND:
1.1 In January of 1994 the Community Services Department received information and an
application form for the 1994 -95 Environmental Youth Corps program. This provincially
funded program is intended to provide youth, between the ages of 15 and 25 years of age,
the opportunity to work on projects that contribute to improving the environment in their
own communities.
1.2 Following a detailed review of the program information and guidelines, the Community
Services Department began to investigate the feasibility of incorporating the Environmental
Youth Corps program into an already existing Department program. The Summer Day
Camp was determined to be the ideal program to include an environmental
awareness /education component. An application (Attachment #1) was completed and
submitted prior to the Friday, February 11, 1994 deadline, outlining the details of the
program.
1.3 On May 18, 1994 staff received a fax copy of the Ministry's letter (Attachment #2)
confirming 100% funding for the Summer Adventure Camp Environmentalist.
3.0 COMMENTS:
3.1 The Community Services Department is very pleased that this new and unique component
will be incorporated into the already successful Summer Day Camp Program. As this
position is totally funded by this Provincial program, the Department would not otherwise
