MOTIONS
The following motions were put
forward by Commissioner Woodcock:
Motion #1
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 through
celebrations in communities and countries
throughout the world;
Whereas the United Nations designated 1975
as International Women's Year and governments
began to recognize March 8th as the official
date of celebration;
Whereas cities in Canada also
recognize the important contributions of
women to their communities and to their society
as a whole by recognizing IWD;
Whereas the Vancouver Park Board has spearheaded
many celebrations throughout the City
to honour the diversity of its citizenry
through arts and cultural and recreational
activities; and
Therefore be it resolved that the Vancouver
Park Board request staff to work with
its community partners to recognize and
celebrate International Women's Day city-wide
in the year 2009.
Motion #2
Whereas Commissioner Korina Houghton appeared
before Council on February 26th to
speak to issues related to EcoDensity
in her capacity as Chair without consultation
with the entire Board;
Therefore be it
resolved that the Board support a
motion of non-confidence in Commissioner Korina
Houghton in her role as Chair of the Vancouver
Park Board; and
Therefore be it further resolved that the
Board respectfully request that Commissioner
Houghton step down as chair of the Vancouver
Park Board immediately.
