Because COW (Committee of the Whole) – allow speakers – thus more interesting – a Green Evening

	Bike to Work
	Justice and Cuthbert gave the presentation --- along with reducing Carbon footprint – there is Safety first & foremost – Bike Sense is a safety manual that will be handed out – but also present on the internet More of presentation later

	But First there was Earth Hour
	Emily Rudderham was on a tight time schedule – the municipal application had to be in by midnight tonight --- duly passed and presumably e-mail sent by H Koning

	Also of note – the newly appointed replacement for Koning was in attendance
	Robert Grodecki getting a peak at what the job entails

	Probably main Action of night was condemning the Innlander
	As stated before – needed an inspection for asbestos etc before Rudman proceed to tear down the building – presumably deadlines not met so City chose to declare a Nuisance and Hazard and the owner required to remove or demolish within 30 days – more later

	And speaking of Fires
	Ocean Center Mall was burning Monday afternoon --- when I passed by the fire alarms still ringing – I was told a fire started in the ‘shops’ downstairs – some material close by a heater ignited – presumably quickly extinguished but the building had to remain evacuated until lall the smoke cleared etc
