Res.
By -Law #
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following: -
1. That Report CS -19 -86 be received; and
2. That the "Corps D'Elite Ontario" brochure be received for information.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:
In reviewing the promotional information on the Corps D'Elite Ontario program we find
two categories of recognition. The criteria has been duplicated for committee
information.
The program of recognition is for individuals that have contributed to the field of
RECREATION well beyond our local municipality.
In reviewing all the nominations for citizens of the year last year I have not found
any individuals who would qualify for either the Regional or Provincial nomination.
Employees in the Recreation field may also qualify for nomination. It is inappropriate
for myself to submit nominations of staff for this program. However, Council may wish to
consider present or past staff for nomination.
Respectfully submitted,
