January 26th

Long, diverse meeting

And public got to speak too

 

More later on Gray & Green presentations

 

 

For me the highlight was comments brought to meeting by Howard Gray – left—on ‘waterfront’ as governance --- and Henry Green, local carver who spoke next--- neither voice heard before – and both with voice of community type messages  

 

Plus given the various presentations and talks --- a lot of people (after all this was a rainy, snowy evening in January)

Perhaps they were there to listen to our MLA Gary Coons discuss Regional issues ----

 

 

 

Or maybe friends of these 2 young girls who won Universal Citizenship recognition

Though Mayor Mussallem had a cold (that trip to PG would do it), and had Councillor Bedard read all these girls accomplishments – he stood in for the photo op --- and able to crack a few jokes --- as at left

 

Seen these before

Especially the 511 Cotton street demolition order

I’ll deal with these later

 

Again while these appear mundane – there were some important ideas circulating here

Tomorrow

 

 

 

Conflict of Interest???

Contrast Anna Ashley who left the room when ‘Schools’ even mentioned for fear of conflict --- Contrast that with Councillor Bedard – who did not leave room when policy that was meant for her Hecate Straits usage was discussed – she spoke in favour of it – and then voted for it---

Duh—doesn’t the Community Charter put narrow restrictions on ‘partnerships’??

 

Thorkelson offered the Library Board had considered a similar arrangement – but found it ‘not legal’ --- not our intrepid Treasurer and Councillor – ‘we been doing t for years’

(end of discussion)

 

 

More later

 

 

More later

Interesting evening – now if we just don’t catch Jack’s cold
