Administrator, East York Community Council, from Mr. Geoff Kettel,
Co-Chair, Jenner Jean-Marie Community Centre Advisory Board and

The Jenner Jean-Marie Advisory Board, through its nomination committee, has received the names of three residents from
the Thorncliffe Park area who have expressed an interest in sitting on the Board. These persons were obtained as a result of
signage in the centre, advertising in the local school paper, and from our volunteer helpers at special events in the past year.
Please find attached the application form used in the former Borough of East York. I hope that the information attached is
sufficient for the appointment on to our board.
Once approval has been given for these individuals to become official members for this board, they will be given the
proper information as far as orientation to this board and a new list of full board members will be issued to the Community
Council through the Clerk's department.
(A copy of the application form referred to in the foregoing communication is on file in the office of the City Clerk.)
