MOTION
The following motion was put forward by Commissioner Herbert at the meeting of the Board held on Monday, February 27, 2006,
WHEREAS the Park Board currently advises Vancouver residents about public consultations and motions coming to the Board through websites, advertisements in the media, emails to stakeholder lists, signage and posters; and
WHEREAS we often hear from people who say they
have not seen any of these forms of advertising,
or who have limited time to stay up-to-date
with the Park Board website; and
WHEREAS we want to ensure a broad range of opinion
is involved in the creation of Park Board policy;
and
WHEREAS email technology has opened up a whole
new range of consultation possibilities; and
WHEREAS we want to "personalize notification" and widen the scope of public awareness of Park Board business;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Park Board investigate
and report back on establishing an email
system whereby the public can sign-up on the Park
Board website to receive email notification specific
to neighbourhood, stakeholder group, or other
criteria as the case may be when motions are coming
to a Committee or the Board, or public consultation
is happening on issues that affect these
groups.
MOTION
The following motion was put forward by Commissioner Woodcock,
WHEREAS International Women's Day has been celebrated
annually on March 8th since 1909 to recognize
women as makers of history and is an occasion marked
by women's groups around the world, commemorated
at the United Nations, and designated by
many countries as a national holiday; and
WHEREAS cities in Canada also recognize the important
contributions of women to their communities and
society as a whole; and
WHEREAS the City of Vancouver is a city of celebration that honours the diversity of its citizenry through arts and cultural and recreational activities;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Vancouver Park Board request staff to work with the City's Equal Employment Office on ways to recognize and celebrate women on International Women's Day for the year 2007.
IN-CAMERA MEETING
