November 8th

Showers and Council

We See

It proved to be an interesting meeting --- thought the agenda looked to be a real yawner

But First --- city of Rainbows etc

  Ashley stars

---and there was a good discussion of what mere citizens should be told about in-camera meeting topics ---- but many of them simply don’t get it --- preferring in-camera to openness and transparency – more later

 

 

 

Remember when Rupert was the City of Rainbows?

Looked like it might have been 180 degreer

 

Gordon-Payne absent --- But she was in building earlier

So I wonder what went on at the in-camera meeting – which began around 5PM --- No wonder Sheila went home early

 

 

Zeno shines --- or at least the main show for the night

Not only was there a ‘defense’ of the ‘Design Guidelines/ and Parking rules form OCP – but there was a Variance Permit with good drawings and colourful images (more later)

Even the 2011 schedule brought some discussion

 

 

Much of the meeting was spent going through this list of six topics --- while Council/ Planner were mainly pleased with themselves and voted for the status quo – with some good discussions

More Wednesday

 

Ashley stars --- was on her game tonight

But Garon and even Mussallem had their moments --- and saw an unusual Bedard almost becoming unruly ---losing her usual cool – more later

 

 

We see the ‘shed’ torn down

The boards are down below behind the barricade – good show in that it would probably have blown down the next storm --- and as it was on the (undeveloped) ‘lane way’ --- would have been City’s liability

 

And kids’ slide reappears

I saw them pouring a concrete foundation for it earlier --- makes you wonder why it was taken away before – assuming it is actually the same slide (I’ll look at earlier photos—but wasn’t the previous one more complex?)

 

 

Snow on the Mountains

I suspect it will disappear quickly with the next storm system – which is gearing up offshore --- still it is a sign of things to come – and it is a La Nina year – so winter predicted to be ‘colder’

 

 

 

More Wednesday
