		Frank Faubert Memorial Award for Art The Economic Development and Parks Committee recommends that the City of Toronto institute The Frank Faubert Memorial Award for Art to be presented at the Scarborough Arts Council's Annual Juried Art Show, such award to be in the form of cash or a purchase award. The Economic Development Committee submits the following communication (July7, 1999) from Ms.Karin Eaton, Executive Director, Scarborough Arts Council, addressed to Councillor Brian Ashton, Chair, Economic Development and Parks Committee: The loss of Frank Faubert is very sad for all of us; his family, friends and the community of Scarborough. The arts community has also lost a supporter and friend. Frank was a staunch patron of the arts. An artist himself, he attended local performances and art shows on a regular basis. In March 1999, Frank was amongst those honoured by the Scarborough Arts Council with the title Member Emeritus. During his tenure as Mayor of Scarborough, he instituted a Mayor's Purchase Award of $1,000.00 for the Scarborough Arts Council Annual Juried Art Show. Frank made a point of selecting the award winner himself. After amalgamation, this award was discontinued. The show takes place approximately the third week in March each year in the Atrium of the Consilium, a corporate building in Scarborough. It is an open mixed media show and attracts artists from across Toronto and beyond its boundaries. On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Scarborough Arts Council, I would like to request that the City of Toronto institute The Frank Faubert Memorial Award for Art to be presented at the Scarborough Arts Council's Annual Juried Art Show. The award could be in the form of cash or a purchase award. In the past, the Mayor's purchase award was handled by the Culture Office, in consultation with the Scarborough Arts Council. If you decide to go ahead with the award, we would invite you and members of Frank's family to attend the opening reception of the show when the presentation would be made. I hope that you consider this suggestion to be a fitting tribute to the memory of Frank Faubert. I know that the arts community would be honoured to keep his memory alive. I look forward to your favourable response.
