The following letter was read:
NAVY LEAGUE OF CANADA
Whitby Branch
Navy League Cadet Corp
Brooklin
March 10, 1972.
Mr. D. Plitz,
Township Clerk,
Pickering Township,
Ontario.
Dear Sir:
As you are aware the Whitby Branch of the Navy League of
Canada, are about to launch a $50,000.00 building fund for
the purpose of a permanent type headquarters situated at
Whitby Harbour.
This dry land 'ship' will be used for the youth of this area
to further the aims of the Navy League to develop youths
from ages II - 19 years of age in citizenship, leadership and
other interesting activities based on a naval background.
At the present time we are able to boast of over 100 boys
from an area bounded by West Rouge, Port Perry and Whitby
who are now operating out of a school gymnasium in Whitby.
It is hoped to acquire your permission for our cadets to con-
duct a residential fund raising drive in the Township of
Pickering on Saturday, March 25th, 1972.
Yours very truly,
W. J. Holding,
Secretary,
P. O. Box 33,
Whitby, Ontario.
See Resolution #93/72.
Policy of Council - The Council were of the opinion that
requests of this nature should not be handled through
Council by Resolutions if there is not legislation requiring
same, but rather a letter mailed to the inquiring parties
acknowledging and granting permission should be satisfactory.
