Moved by Councillor D. Kitchen, seconded by Deputy Reeve
G. Ashe, that Mr. J. Coates, Chairman of the Pickering
United Community Fund be heard.
Mr. Coates advised Council that the first campaign of the
appeal went over the top by $176.00 and that final
tabulation has not been completed. He expressed thanks
and appreciation to Council for their generous suppo~t
and assistance and to Mr. J. Kruger who was campaign
chairman.
He also expressed thanks to the Pickering Village
residents who although were not originally included in
the campaign, contributed $1,500.00.
As a result of the campaign's success, the Community Fund

Pickering Winter Carnival
Moved by Councillor Kitchen, seconded by Councillor
J. S. Scott, that Mr. T. Williamson be heard.
Mr. Williamson, Publicity Chairman of the Pickering Winter
Carnival Organization, appeared before Council explaining
the functions and purpose of the Winter Carnival and the
relationship of the Carnival to the proposed snowmobile
races. He was requesting Council's official support.
The Council felt that until they know precisely the
involvement of private individuals for private gain, they
did not wish to lend support. They were of course, in
favour of the Carnival itself, but would not commit
themselves until a report requested from Mr. D. Bass is
submitted giving full particulars.

with the work, without Township involvement.
