SUB-ITEM 77Q3

(a)	(i)	Based upon their evaluation of the registrant's disclosure
controls and procedures as conducted within 90 days of the filing date
of this report, the registrant's chief executive officer and chief financial
officer have concluded that those disclosure controls and procedures provide
reasonable assurance that the material information required to be disclosed by
the registrant in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported in substantial compliance with the 1934 Act and the Commission's rules
and forms thereunder.

	(ii)	There were no significant changes in the registrant's internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls
subsequent to the date of their last evaluation.

1.	I have reviewed this report on Form N-SAR of The Cascades Trust;

2.	Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement

employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal controls;
and
