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”!

A follow-up delegation about transit in St. George’s Square led to a robust conversation about the subject from a variety of points of view, and then council made some appointments, and talked about pretty big re-organization for a major committee that will have more direct City involvement now. Here’s the recap… Continue reading “This Week at Council: Transit Talk and a New Committee is Born” →

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

Although we’ve technically not quite gotten to the end of the month, we’ve at least gotten to the agenda for the end of the month. At the regular council meeting on the last Tuesday in February, we will cover again all the business from Committee of the Whole and then get into new business, which involves an annual visit from someone special and some big changes to an importance shared services committee. All that and some recognitions and in-camera stuff too! Continue reading “City Council Preview – What’s on the Agenda for the February 27 Meeting?” →

Hope everyone enjoyed the extra time off in January, because there’s a lot of serious business to take care of this February starting almost immediately with Committee of the Whole. For this first CoW of 2024, there’s some left over budget business to talk about, plus some construction business ahead for the downtown core. Also, there’s some staff recognitions, governance changes, and the return of downtown parking concerns.
