Captain(N)
Alexander Reuben answering Councillors questions after cerem,onial
presentation of plaque of HMSC Prince Rupert |
|
Is this Council irrelevant? I will return to the topic tomorrow --- today I
give what was dealt with in the open meeting (which was shorter than the
preceding in-camera meeting) --- Some pomp and ceremony celebrating 100th
anniversary of Canadian Navy--- and a presentation by Judy Rae on Cancer
Prevention etc |
|
Most of the info on plaque including the
ship’s picture is online
|
After the
Photo ops there were some questions – the bell appears authentic and is on
loan – the plaque will remain |
|
|
|
|
Of pomp
& circumstance – signifying--? |
|
Here
is from their
web site – Centenary as ‘momentous occasion’ along with its own
advertising slogan: which is copyrighted
by the way ‘The centennial
will be a momentous milestone both in our navy and nation’s history. We will
honour the past, celebrate our achievements and recognize our obligation to
Canada with the naval centennial slogan: Commemorate, Celebrate, Commit’ |
|
And could we
forget the ‘Ready aye Ready’ web
site for Navy? Here with the plaque info for HMSC
Prince Rupert |
And will the
navy be visiting Rupert again? |
|
Gordon Payne
‘remembered’ the last time Navy in town for opening of Port in
2007 (or Googled the info) --- and asked if increased visits in future of
ships etc --- $$$ was the Captains answer (thus < number sea days etc) |
|
|
Judy Rae |
|
Cancer detection
and prevention
presentation – plus April 9th officially Daffodil Day in PR etc resolution --- as
she said most the info available on BC
Cancer Society web site for links to – or brochures |
|
|
Almost the
only ‘real’ info at meeting |
|
More
later |
|
|
For
whatever reason this was withdrawn from agenda – Discussed in-camera?? --- As
I remember the property to receive land belongs to family of a Councillor More later |
|
|
|
|
From Plaque |
|
More
later --- Thorkelson brought up the role of Sea Cadets etc and youth – her
two sons went through the program locally etc |
|
|
Is (this) Council irrelevant?
|
|
Will
approach this by what other Councils are doing --- of course other Councils probably
don’t meet 2 hours before every Council meeting ‘in-camera’ More later |
