The recording continues with a presentation by George Talbot on the territorial Department of Recreation (within the Department of Local Government) and its policies to provide supports and grants to communities, including for swimming pools and other community facilities. He describes the current difficulties, policies and procedures, and the approvals process. The current aim of the newly organized recreation department is to get feedback from the communities themselves as to what their needs are so that the government's policy can take these into account. Specific projects, including covering the Fort Resolution skating rink, are discussed. Some of the questions are spoken quietly and there is background noise. The recording ends abruptly.
This recording includes sides A and B of the tape.
