It was a laidback meeting this week at city council as they tucked in around the horseshoe for a workshop meeting. The topic was operations facilities, and the need to lay the infrastructure that will enable the continued electrification of transit. The present bus barn is horribly out of date; not enough space, and not enough capacity to charge more than a couple of buses at a time, but there is a plan! Let’s check out the recap… Continue reading “This Week at Council: Transit, It’s Electric!”

The third Tuesday of June is reserved for a special meeting of council, a workshop. The topic this time is one that’s near and dear to some of our hearts: Transit. For years there’s been a project in the works that involves the electrification of the transit fleet, and it’s been a moving target that’s changed a lot over the last five years. Buckle up because we’re going to try again on operations facilities! Continue reading “City Council Preview – What’s on the Agenda for the June 17, 2025 Meeting?”
Okay, so technically this is not “This Week at Council”, it’s “Last Week at Council”. In addition to the planning meeting there were two other meetings on the calendar, one was an orientation meeting and the other was the rescheduled meeting for council to sit as tribunal. So what did you miss? Well, we learned that water is good and that sometimes you have to wait for the results. Here are the recaps from (technically) “Last Week at Council”!

City council this week was a little more laid back, a little more informal. It’s been a while since council enjoyed some orientation, and last week they got some timely information about construction season. The requisite dad joke was made about how there are two seasons in Canada, winter and construction, and in the midst of one, council talked about the other, which was more interesting if you were an actual participant. Here’s the recap! Continue reading “This Week at Council: Construction is Coming”

It’s been a while since we’ve had an orientation, or workshop, meeting of city council, so what have we got here? In a word: “Construction”. You probably know that old joke about how there are only two seasons in Canada, and as we now wallow in the depths of winter, city council will start looking to that other season, and there’s going to be a lot of it in the months and years to come. At this meeting, council will dig into all things construction! Continue reading “City Council Preview – What’s on the Agenda for the February 19, 2025 Meeting?”
Two meetings this week, one that took care of a lot of planning business in not a lot of time with the monthly planning meeting, and then council tried to absorb four years of Strategic Plan accomplishments in two hours with the annual report. Also, council said goodbye to a very prominent member of staff as he’s about to begin a new adventure as a retiree. Here’s the recap of this week at council… Continue reading “This Week at Council: Planning and a Future Ready Finale”
