Deconstructing PR council mtg	RCMP volunteers presented with badges
	We, the citizens of PR, meant to honour these men and women who donate their time (minimum 160 hrs per year) to serving the community

The Council chambers rooms ‘space’ took on symbolic weight

We, the Citizens of PR were collectively witnessing & thanking

That was how the Council meeting of Dec 22^nd started off.

After the ceremony the volunteers etc went out side Council chambers for a group media photo

And Pond left the meeting for about 5 minutes to do the honours, again, outside for the photo-op.

Where is the ‘reality”?

	You Jest? (video charity toque WMF 244K)
	AsA As we sat there waiting for the meeting to begin again- I wondered if Mayor Pond was right. The ‘reality’ was the photo-op; the chance to be seen in the press or TV. The meeting was irrelevant. So we waited.

	I imagined
	Outside, the council chambers a photo-op The people’s business could wait
