I'm,

to
our

and
welcome
everybody:
counselor
Allison
Fraser
musclimb,
Indian
band
counselor,
Dennis
Thomas
from
slavel,
tough
nation
and
co-chairs
of
the
100
task
force.
Council
person,
kiss
Salem
I,
see
Salem
here:
Top
Secret,
Salem
and
counselor
Christine
Boyle,
we'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
A
G
G
G
Conicon
Escuela
a
good
day
to
you
all,
respected
leaders.
Wantic
is
my
inceptional
name
and
I
come
from
the
slow
tooth
nation,
and
it
gives
me
good
feelings
inside
to
know
that
my
ancestors,
our
ancestors,
are,
are
standing
behind
us
with
this
historic
presentation,
but
before
we
get
into
the
presentation,
I'd
really
like
to
just
share
a
few
words:
I
really
like
to
honor
each
and
every
one
of
you
that
came
to
our
ceremony
last
week.
G
We
grounded
this
this
framework
in
the
right
way,
and
we
are
here
today
to
present
our
strategy
and
hopeful
endorsement
by
you.
All
I
know
that
this
might
be
the
last
time
I
get
to
see
some
of
you
in
this
light,
but
I
really
want
to
acknowledge
all
of
the
work
that
you
have
done
for
the
city
or
the
rebuilding
of
the
relationships
of
the
three
nations.
G
I
want
to
wish
you
not
farewell,
but
until
we
meet
again
in
our
Journeys,
they
will
cross
paths
or
the
incumbent,
the
incumbents,
to
continue
the
good
work
that
you
have
been
able
to
witness
between
the
three
nations,
with
your
new
mayor
and
council
members
to
share
that
wealth
to
share
that
cultural
understanding
of
who
we
are
as
well
of
people
and
the
movements
and
the
journeys
that
we
are
about
to
embark
on
in
the
future.
It's
a
very
important
role.
G
G
I
know:
I
I
sang
a
song
during
the
mid
report,
midterm
report,
but
this
concludes
the
work
that
we
have
done
together
as
a
family
and
I
really
wanted
to
honor
this
song
and
wish
everyone
happiness
and
well-being
as
we
work
together
for
a
better
future.
G
G
G
G
G
J
If
it
was
an
honor
to
open
with
it
or
or
join
the
ceremony
last
week,
with
a
few
words
and
again
to
be
part
of
President,
presenting
this
government
to
government
work
to
the
city
as
one
of
the
co-chairs
of
this
task
force
and
as
a
third
generation
settler
on
unseated,
musqueam,
Squamish
and
slay
with
tooth
land,
as
my
friend
and
colleague
already
said,
this
is
important.
Generational
leadership
work
and
it's
important
that
we
undertake
it
with
urgency
and
humility
and
a
commitment
to
the
Long
Haul
of
the
work.
J
There
is
a
way
in
which
this
is
the
end
of
the
work
that
this
task
force
was
created
to
do,
and
also
just
the
very
beginning
of
a
lot
of
work
ahead.
J
The
city
of
Vancouver,
as
we
know,
is
a
colonial
institution.
We
are
a
creature
of
the
province
of
British
Columbia.
For
decades
the
city
has
upheld
harmful
and
Colonial
laws
we
can
see
in
the
city
around
us.
Indigenous
people
in
Vancouver
are
still
over-represented
among
homeless
residents,
still
disproportionately
living
in
precarious
housing
and
experiencing
barriers
to
access
and
opportunity,
and
Indigenous
people
and
Indigenous
governments
are
leading
the
way
on
housing
and
the
Arts
business,
cultural,
revitalization
and
so
much
more
and
so.
Implementing
undrip
is
an
important
Act
of
redress
and
of
reconciliation.
J
It's
also
a
transformative
opportunity
for
all
of
us
to
fix
broken
systems
and
to
build
stronger
relationships
with
each
other
and
with
the
land
and
water
that
begins
with
the
government
to
government
report.
The
government-to-government
work
that
this
report
this
strategy
lays
out
and
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge
and
thank
first
of
all,
the
enormous
generosity
of
musqueam,
Squamish
and
slaywatuth
for
being
willing
to
sit
at
this
table
with
us.
J
Despite
the
histories
to
look
forward
and
to
to
work
together
on
this
strategy,
the
huge
amount
of
work
that
staff
around
the
technical
tables
from
each
of
the
Nations
put
in
and
that
City
staff
put
in
and
and
I'm
just
going
to
name
them,
because
I
got
to
see
up
close
how
hard
they
worked.
Paid.
J
Thompson,
Kamala,
Todd,
Armin,
emerilia
and
Michelle
Bryant,
gravel,
incredible
amount
of
work,
counselors,
Carr
and
Swanson
and
dig
Nova
were
part
of
this
task
force
and
mayor
Stewart
and
counselors,
Bly
and
dominato,
and
we
were
also
at
the
ceremony
last
week,
which
was
I,
think
counselor
fry
sorry,
counselor
fry.
Also,
there
I'm
I'm
blanking
as
I
look
around
the
room.
J
I'm
really
appreciated
that
presence
as
the
work
continues,
and
that
is
what
we're
about
to
present
the
recommendations
of
this
strategy
for
the
next
piece
of
work,
which,
as
as
we
heard
in
the
ceremony
last
week,
is
what
makes
it
real
is
the
is
the
implementation
of
this
work
in
the
years
to
come.
So
we're
going
to
move
into
jointly
presenting
this
strategy.
J
J
The
presentation
is
broken
up
into
four
parts:
we're
briefly
going
to
go
back
over
what
the
UN
declaration
and
the
rights
of
indigenous
people
is
and
why
it
matters.
So
much
speak
a
little
bit
about
the
task
force
and
then
speak
to
the
strategy
itself
and
pull
out
some
key
examples
from
it
and
then
speak
to
the
recommendations
that
are
before
us.
As
a
city
council.
G
Q
I'd
also
just
really
like
to
thank
some
of
my
family
members
from
the
the
muscular
school
mission,
slow
tooth,
there's
myself
and
councilor
Sim
talat,
Charlene
Alec
from
the
slowatus
Allison
Fraser
and
polano
Howard
Grant
from
musk
William,
Cal,
Salem
and
Tiel
tolote
Kristen
rivers
from
the
Squamish
nation,
that
is,
that
are
part
of
our
family
from
the
under
side
of
the
of
the
Muslims
commission.
G
Celebrities,
Nation
I'm,
going
to
I
know
that
we,
this
current
Council,
has
heard
some
of
The
Narrative
of
relating
to
Andra,
but
I
know
that
there
are
probably
new
ones
that
are
either
listening
or
watching
and
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
still
share
those
same
words
and
the
narrative.
So
it's
United,
Nations
Declaration
on
the
rights
of
indigenous
peoples,
is
the
most
comprehensive
international
human
rights
in
instrument
regarding
indigenous
peoples.
It
establishes
at
the
minimum
standards
for
the
survival,
dignity
and
well-being
of
indigenous
peoples.
G
G
How
to
bring
laws
into
line
with
under
the
province
has
passed
legislation
and
developed
in
consultation
with
the
province
with
the
indigenous
peoples,
a
five-year
action
plan
to
implement
undrip.
The
federal
government
has
passed
legislation
and
is
currently
working
on
an
action
plan
in
consultation
with
indigenous
peoples.
K
Good
morning,
all
thank
you
for
your
patience
as
I
had
some
travel
travel
issues
getting
here.
K
So,
as
mentioned,
the
work
of
the
undrip
task
force
really
is
following
through
on
a
number
of
commitments
that
have
been
made:
I
think
but
both
by
the
city
of
Vancouver,
but
also,
broadly
speaking,
when
we
look
at
the
Truth
and
Reconciliation
commissions
calls
to
action.
One
of
the
Articles
of
the
trc's
final
report
called
on
all
levels
of
government
Federal,
provincial
Territorial
and
Municipal
governments
to
use
undrip
as
a
framework
for
reconciliation
and
to
support
its
implementation,
and
so
through
that
Spirit
of
following
through
on
that
call
to
action.
K
K
We
first
met
in
July
of
2021
a
few
months
later
and
then
since
then,
the
musqueam,
Squamish
and
slow
it
touch
in
a
city
worked
collaboratively
to
develop
the
recommendations
of
the
calls
to
action
for
the
city
of
Vancouver,
and
it
was
the
first
process
of
its
kind
to
actually
begin
to
think
about.
How
do
we
do
this
work,
both
in
the
government?
K
So
the
task
force
developed
a
work
plan
developed
protocols
for
working
together.
We
met
from
July
2021
through
to
October
2022
and
in
this
sense,
Vancouver
really
has
become
a
leader
in
how
First
Nations
in
a
city
government
can
work
together
through
these
types
of
intergovernmental
processes
and
as
an
example,
just
as
a
sort
of
side.
Example
of
that
one
of
the
things
that
we
were
able
to
learn
through
this
process
was
because
the
three
nations
would
come
together
to
meet
with
the
city
officials.
K
And
so
there's
things
like
that
that
we
actually
discovered
throughout
the
process.
There
was
things
that
we
didn't
know
at
the
beginning
of
the
process
of
one
where
we
would
end,
but
also
just
what
we
would
learn
from
working
together.
What
kinds
of
relationships
would
we
build
and
how
would
we
develop
process
that
would
work
and
I
think
that
there's
lessons
from
what
we
had
learned
through
the
process
that
I
think
are
going
to
be
instructive
for
any
future
process
of
the
governments
working
together
at
a
government-to-government
level.
K
There
was
a
political
steering
committee
that
would
work
within
the
technical
committee
made
up
of
staff
from
the
four
governments
and
the
the
task
force
also
engaged
in
conversations
and
invitations
to
indigenous
people
living
in
the
urban
context
like
mvac
and
the
U
uipac
invitations
for
these
groups
to
participate
in
the
technical
committee
to
review
some
of
the
work
that
was
coming
through
from
the
steering
committee
and
one
of
the
sort
of
other
lessons
that
we
learned
is
how
much
we
were
able
to
focus
on
this.
K
I
would
say
step
in
under
implementation
through
the
lens
of.
Let's
start,
this
work
at
the
base
or
at
the
foundation
of
the
city
of
Vancouver,
working
with
the
local
Nations,
but
also
really
learned
through
the
process
that
it's
intended
to
be
an
iterative
process
that
it
would
evaluated
and
eventually
reviewed,
and
maybe
changes
would
be
made
later
on,
and
that
there
is
a
specific
approach
that
came
out
of
the
process
as
well.
K
Is
that
because
the
Nations
hold
rates
entitled
to
this
territory,
that
Vancouver
resides
in
that
the
city
government
has
a
particular
unique
relationship
with
the
local
First
Nations.
It
also
has
a
relationship
that
it
extends
to
sort
of
urban
indigenous
peoples
as
well,
but
that
at
the
foundation
is
that
relationship
with
the
title
holders
and
then
from
there.
K
That
relationship
can
then
be
expanded
to
other
indigenous
people
and
to
all
the
people
who
we
consider
as
guests
within
the
MST
territories,
and
so
the
task
force
learned
a
lot
just
from
the
the
practice
of
attempting
to
do
something
like
this,
and
we
worked
very
collaboratively
and
I
really
want
to
acknowledge
the
City
councilors
who
sat
on
the
task
force
representing
the
city.
K
We
had
a
councilor
Christine,
Boyle,
councilor,
Adrian,
Carr,
councilor,
Melissa,
digenova
and
counselor
Gene,
Swanson
and
I
really
do
want
to
acknowledge
our
our
colleagues
who
participated
in
this
and
the
thoughtfulness,
the
the
care,
the
Curiosity,
but
also
just
the
tremendous
respect
that
I
think
was
felt
by
all,
and
especially
by
the
Nations,
and
maybe
not
all
of
us
from
the
nation
side
had
a
relationship
with
these
these
officials.
Prior
to
this
starting
but
I,
think
through
working
together.
K
We
really
got
to
know
each
other
and
build
those
relationships
that
I
think
are
going
to
extend
for
a
long
time,
but
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
the
city
officials
for
the
hard
work
that
I
think
went
into
this
by
all
involved.
It
was
really
felt
and
seen
by
the
representatives
from
the
Nations,
the
the
strategy
calls
for
79
calls
to
action,
grounded
in
the
undripped
Articles
and
writes.
K
Fortunately,
we
were
quite
happy
when
we
did
extend
it
out
to
other
academics
and
other
reviewers
that
a
lot
of
the
feedback
came
back,
that
there
was
a
lot
of
good
work
done
there.
There
wasn't
many
substantive
changes
that
came
back
from
the
external
reviews,
mostly
minor,
but
also
a
lot
of
commentary
around
how
Forward
Thinking
and
how
Innovative,
what's
being
recommended,
came
out
of
this
that,
even
from
the
perspective
of
what
the
province
or
the
feds
are
currently
doing.
This
puts
the
city
on
a
very
clear
forward
path.
K
K
Those
comments
and
feedback
were
incorporated
into
the
final
strategy,
and
they
were
also
asked
to
endorse
the
strategy
coming
to
Vancouver
City
Council,
which
they
all
did
unanimously,
and
so
today
we
are
very
honored
to
be
able
to
present
the
task
forces
undrip
strategy
to
the
city
of
Vancouver
and
really
carry
through
a
lot
of
I.
Think
it's
also
important
to
recognize
that
there's
a
lot
of
of
wisdom
and
knowledge
and
context
that
is
included
in
this
strategy.
That
comes
from
the
Nations
and
I.
Think.
K
And
so
the
strategy
outlines
79
calls
to
action.
As
mentioned
into
a
number
of
categories.
The
foundational
calls
to
action
which
are
sort
of
overarching
a
foundational
aspects
of
the
recommendations,
and
then
we
grouped
it
into
four
themes:
the
social,
cultural,
economic
well-being,
ending
indigenous
specific
racism
and
discrimination,
self-determination
inherent
right
to
self-government,
entitled
rights
of
indigenous
peoples
and
then
the
calls
to
action
re
moving
forward
on
implementation.
K
So
when
the
province
released
their
draft
action
plan,
they
had
grouped
a
number
of
their
actions
and
objectives
into
these
four
themes,
and
we
sort
of
felt
that
there
was
an
opportunity
to
align
ourselves
with
existing
work
and
to
build
upon
them
that
it
would
be
something
people
are
familiar
with,
but
also
that
where
there
is
overlap,
because
some
of
the
recommendations
do
speak
to,
for
example,
the
city
of
Vancouver
working
with
the
Nations
to
advance
some
of
the
actions
within
the
provincial
action
plan.
K
So
it
was
sort
of
building
off
existing
work,
which
we
found
very
helpful
and
effective.
In
terms
of
how
we
would
organize
the
dialogue
on
each
of
the
themes
over
the
last
year.
We
would
basically
work
on
the
First
theme
over
a
few
months.
Come
up
with
a
bunch
of
recommendations,
move
on
to
the
second
theme
and
then
eventually
the
third
and
fourth,
and
then
the
last
few
months
have
been
basically
reviewing
all
of
them.
K
As
a
whole
and
making
any
final
recommendations
and
changes-
and
so
just
in
closing,
the
the
strategy
intended
that
is
recommended
is
also
intended
to
be,
as
I
mentioned,
a
first
step
that
there
is
hope
that
this
becomes
a
starting
point
that
it's
really
approached
through
the
lens
of
here's
a
place.
We
can
start
doing
some
work
that
we
understand
that
over
time,
different
Minds,
different
leaders,
different
contexts.
K
We
might
learn
something
through
this
work
that
we
would
come
back
and
evaluate
the
impacts
or
the
understandings
or
the
challenges
that
we
might
encounter
through
implementation
and
potentially
even
update
the
strategy.
At
a
later
point,
we
also
in
conversations
with
City
staff,
opted
to
use
the
language
of
strategy.
We
recognized
that
the
province
and
the
FEDS
use
terminology
like
action
plan.
K
So
it's
intended
to
be
a
sort
of
a
two-stage
strategy.
First,
then,
that
develops
into
an
action
plan
and
our
our
hope,
I
think
moving
forward
is
that
an
intergovernmental
group
would
be
brought
together
again
sort
of
the
task
force
as
a
group
has
sort
of
concluded,
but
that
an
intergovernmental
group
would
be
brought
together
to
then
look
at
scoping.
The
next
phase
of
the
work
around
implementation.
Should
the
strategy
be
adopted.
G
Thank
you,
Cal
Salem,
for
saying
those
beautiful
words
that
I
forgot
to
mention
in
the
very
beginning.
So
thank
you.
This
has
been
a
transformative
experience.
Even
for
myself.
You
know
to
carry
that
wisdom
and,
and
knowledge
from
our
ancestors
to
to
this
table
has
been
a
very
a
positive
experience
for
myself.
So
I'm
going
to
go
over
to
our
first
theme,
which
is
social,
cultural
and
economic
well-being.
G
We've
identified
three
points
here
in
which
I'll
go
into
a
little
bit
more
detail,
but
1.16
is
to
prioritize
access
to
cultural
sites
for
musculine,
Squamish
and
slave
with
his
people,
and
so
in
detail.
G
Some
of
them
in
in
subcategories,
you'll,
see
that
there's
barrier
to
removal
or
access
to
water
or
access
to
other
resources
or
Priority
Access,
and
so
some
of
them
identify
and
address
barriers,
including,
but
not
limited
to
parking
areas,
fees,
time
limits,
Public,
Access
limitations,
environmental
intervention
and
impacts,
lack
of
privacy,
policing,
regulation
and
cultural
activities
and
use
access
to
water
include
work
with
the
Muslim
Squamish
and
celebrities
people
to
identify
options,
ensuring
access
to
clean
marine
and
freshwater
sites
for
cultural
purposes.
G
Ongoing
cultivation
and
stewardship
and
1.13
is
identify
ways
to
amplify
and
solidify
meaningful
musculine
squamous
salivatives
participation
in
building
and
sharing
Vancouver's
economic
prosperity,
including
options
for
economic
Partnerships,
Revenue,
sharing,
Arrangements,
ongoing
funding
agreements,
redress
agreements,
allocation
of
property
tax
or
other
taxes
to
the
Nations
and
City
fee
and
tax
waivers.
There's
also
another
one.
G
That
1.17
in
the
strategy
plan
is
to
create
actionable
steps
to
prioritize
a
review
revision
and
update
City
procurement
policies
to
ensure
contract
opportunities
are
reserved
for
business
owners
or
businesses
that
are
owned
or
partnered
by
the
musculum
Squamish
Institute
Nation
local
indigenous
professionals,
with
demonstrated
outcomes,
including
mentoring,
training
and
shadowing
opportunities.
B
I
am
counselor
Fraser
from
the
musqueam
Indian
band
I'm.
Here
two
percent
theme
two
on
ending
indigenous
specific
races
and
determination.
B
B
Just
a
couple
of
examples
here
that
really
impact
the
musculine
First
Nations,
but
I'm
sure
that
it
there
are
other
examples
that
could
be
provided
by
syllabus
and
Squamish.
With
regard
to
the
impacts
this
has
with
them.
The
Industrial
Development
throughout
Vancouver
has
negatively
impacted
the
local
First
Nations
hazardous
development
has
disrupted
our
community
community's
ability
to
exercise
and
practice
our
basic
right
to
harvest
Within
Stuart
within
Stewart
and
protect
our
traditional
territory.
B
It
was
placed
upon
a
plot
of
land
across
from
our
main
Community
cutting
us
off
from
an
area
that
was
used
for
generations
to
hunt
and
gather
the
sewage
treatment
plant
is
also
fed
by
a
large
pipe
that
runs
through
the
musqueam
community
that
we
never
approved.
The
highberry
Interceptor,
as
it
is
known,
runs
through
the
heart
of
musqueam
and
has
limited
masculine
from
being
able
to
access
the
land
surrounding
the
sewage,
pipe
2.6
work
with
musk,
Williams,
Squamish
and
Slava
tooth
on
the
city's
housing
strategy
to
adopt
more
culturally
informed
approaches.
B
It
has
been
obvious
over
the
last
number
of
years
that
Vancouver
is
facing
facing
a
housing
crisis
as
the
original
stewards
of
these
lands,
the
local
First
Nations
communities
have
always
welcomed
people
onto
our
lands
with
open
arms
that
continues
today,
as
we
continue
to
reclaim
land
that
was
unlawfully
taken
away
from
us.
We
recognize
that
we
have
responsibility
to
continue
to
welcome
all
those
that
want
to
call
our
traditional
territory
home.
B
To
two
point:
one
three
co-developed
policies,
programs
and
processes
to
ensure
that
indigenous
people
in
Vancouver
feel
safe
and
assessing
Municipal,
Services
health
clinics,
Recreation
Library,
Services,
Engineering
Services
Etc
and
are
treated
with
respect
receiving
the
culturally
safe
and
appropriate
services
that
they
deserve.
B
Work
with
and
I
recommend
that
The
Vancouver
Police
Department
commit
to
integrating
the
articles
of
undrip
and
include
the
applicable
recommendations
from
The,
Truth
and
Reconciliation
Commission,
and
the
murdered
and
missing
women
reports
into
the
operations
in
consultation
with
musque,
Williams,
Squamish
and
sloatus
Nations,
and
the
diverse
indigenous
populations
living
in
the
city.
A
few
specific
in
recommendations
include
promote
and
endorse,
sending
Mental
Health
Professions
to
respond
to
issues
that
do
not
require
police
response
for
better
outcomes.
K
I
can
also
add
just
on
the
last
one
that
The
Vancouver
Police
Department
also
has
a
indigenous
advisory
committee
that
has
representatives
from
the
three
nations
that
have
been
working
quite
successfully.
K
We
have
representative
from
from
the
Nations
and
councilor
Shirley
Nalick,
who
is
on
the
task
force,
actually
is
also
one
of
the
representatives
on
there
and
so
there's
been
a
lot
of
really
good
dialogue
happening
between
indigenous
peoples
with
The
Vancouver
Police
Department
through
that
work,
including
some
of
the
ideas
that
have
come
through
this
and
tend
to
those
sort
of
interest
and
support
for
some
of
the
ideas
that
have
come
through
here,
so
there'll
be
need
to
be
more
formal,
I
think,
requests
and
formal
responses
from
the
VPD.
K
But
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
there
is
some
additional
work
happening,
separate
from
our
work,
and
it's
been
quite
effective
and
successful.
I
know
that
from
Squamish,
my
colleague
counselor
simply
on
Stuart
Gonzalez
is
our
rep
on
that
group
and
has
reported
very
positive
outcomes
coming
from
that
those
conversations
and
that
work
together.
So
so
the
theme
number
three
self-determination
inherent
right
to
self-government.
K
So
the
context
for
this
theme
is
that
underperforms
that
indigenous
people
have
the
right
to
free,
prior
and
form
consent
and
as
the
city
of
Vancouver
embeds,
recognition
of
Muslim,
Squamish
and
slave
tooth
as
rights
and
title
holders
of
these
lands
with
jurisdiction
and
the
right
of
consent.
It's
important
to
address
the
return
of
lands
and
decision-making
Authority
on
landy's
decisions,
the
city
conducts
many
leases
and
Muslim
Squamish
and
celebrities
are
not
involved
in
the
process
of
how
those
leases
are
decided.
K
One
of
the
ways
that
I
often
explain
this
concept.
For
for
those
when
we're
engaging
in
this
is
there's
been
a
number
of
ways
in
which
the
Nations
sort
of
both
collectively
and
individually
I've
worked
with
other
levels
of
government
to
develop
free
prior
to
informed
consent
processes,
and
it
really
speaks
to
there's
a
lot
of
legal
language
that
can
be
used,
but
I
think
at
the
heart
when
you
really
drill
down
to
it.
K
It's
recognizing
that
indigenous
peoples
also
have
our
own
right
to
self-determination,
our
own
right
to
govern
ourselves
in
our
lands
as
as
a
nation,
and
that
we
also
have
jurisdiction
that
overlaps
or
intersects
with
other
levels
of
jurisdiction,
and
so
when
those
things
have
come
together.
I
think
for
the
context
is
that
for
a
long
time
the
rights
of
indigenous
peoples
weren't
upheld,
so
you
had
other
levels
of
government
making
decisions
on
issues
that
were
within
the
jurisdiction
of
First
Nations.
K
So
the
recommendations
from
this
really
try
to
move
us
forward
to
imagine
processes
and
opportunities
for
collaboration
and
shared
decision
making
and
there's
a
number
of
examples
where
I
think
this
is
already
happening
and
what
it
does
is
it
actually
I
mean.
This
is
the
area
where
the
city
of
Vancouver
has
been
a
very
forward
already
in
terms
of
shared
processes.
I
think
some
of
the
developments
that
are
happening
with
the
Nations
have
been
an
example
of
this,
where
the
city
of
Vancouver
and
the
Nations
have
been
collaborating.
K
But
it's
not
just
our
own
developments
like
Jericho
or
Heather.
There's
been
a
number
of
planning
projects
happening
throughout
the
city
where
the
Nations
have
been
invited
to
participate
in
being
involved.
Most
of
that
has
happened
in
formal
and
informal
ways,
so
a
lot
of
these
recommendations
speak
to
really
bringing
those
forward,
bringing
those
best
practices
forward
and
finding
new
ways
to
continue
that
collaborative
approach.
K
K
So
the
the
recommendation
support
must
agreement
Squamish
and
slave,
which
is
Led
efforts
to
have
representation
on
Vancouver,
Park,
Board,
Metro,
Vancouver,
Board
and
other
Regional
boards,
Board
of
Trade
tables
bodies
with
compensation
for
their
participation.
This
one
also
touches
on
some
of
the
the
action
items
within
the
provincial
dripa
action
plan.
So
there
is
an
art,
a
number
action
item
from
the
provincial
action
plan
that
actually
speaks
to
working
with
First
Nations,
to
increase
representation
on
Regional
District
boards
and
those
types
of
bodies.
K
So
that
is
a
action
item
that
is,
is
going
to
be
worked
on
with
the
province,
and
so
this
sort
of
creates
alignment
in
in
that
area
and
really
when
they,
when
we
think
about
ending
indigenous
specific
racism
and
discrimination.
K
K
And
so
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity.
I
think
through
that
sort
of
representation
lens
that
allows
us
to
work
towards.
You
know
the
theme
of
ending
indigenous
specific
racism
and
discrimination.
We're
experiencing
this
I.
Think
in
this
era
of
reconciliation,
there's
a
number
of
initiatives
that
are
happening
now
within
our
city
and
our
Province,
where
we
have
a
better
understanding
of
the
indigenous
specific
racism
that
is
being
experienced,
but
also
the
work.
I.
K
Think
that
has
meaningfully
happened
by
leadership
and
number
of
Institutions
to
bring
indigenous
people
into
the
processes
to
bring
indigenous
representation
at
different
levels
as
a
way
to
combat
sort
of
this.
The
indigenous
specific
racism
and
discrimination
and
we're
seeing
that
through
a
number
of
Institutions
I.
K
Also
increased
representation
within
the
Healthcare
System
itself
at
different
levels
of
care
provided,
but
also
to
be
able
to
influence
policy
and
procedure
and
to
create
a
culturally
informed
practices.
And
things
like
that.
So
there's
a
lot
of
work
happening
in
this
area
and
this
sort
of
speaks
to
continuing
that.
But
within
the
city
of
Vancouver's
jurisdiction
and
also
working
with
the
province
in
some
areas
as
well.
J
I'm
going
to
speak
a
little
to
theme,
four,
which
is
rights
and
title
rights
and
title
of
indigenous
people.
So
a
couple
examples
to
pull
out
from
theme.
Four
I'm
4.1
speaks
to
identifying
ways
for
City
staff,
elected
officials
and
the
public
to
learn
about
the
original,
musqueam,
Squamish
and
slavertus
laws
of
these
lands
and
to
learn
how
Colonial
laws
and
abuse
have
impacted
indigenous
people
and
their
laws.
J
And
then
the
strategy
speaks
to
a
number
of
tangible
ways
to
do
that.
Work,
including
through
more
public
education
and
public
visibility
across
the
city.
4.2,
is
to
encourage
staff
and
elected
leadership
to
learn
ways
to
bring
colonial
law
and
Indigenous
law
together
through
dialogue
and
stories
to
find
common
principles
for
the
betterment
of
society.
Honoring,
Squamish
and
slave
tooth
legal
systems
and
ways
of
knowing
and
4.2
is
I.
Think
one
of
many
of
the
recommendations
in
the
strategy
that
really
speak
very
clearly
to
the
the
better
City
better
future.
J
For
all
of
us
and
in
being
able
to
implement
this
work
together.
J
Again,
some
really
good
conversation
and
good
recommendations
in
the
report
about
what
this
can
look
like,
including
programs
and
spaces
opportunities
for
Youth
and
community
members
to
relearn
their
own
traditional
knowledge,
Language
and
Cultural
practices
and
support
from
the
city
in
enabling
that
programs
and
spaces
as
a
means
to
develop
educational
programs
for
schools
and
other
places
of
learning
so
important
ways
that
the
city
can
be
involved
in
in
really
tangible
and
and
clear
ways
in
strengthening
rights
and
title
on
these
lands.
I'm
going
to
pass
it
to
counselor
Fraser.
G
Okay,
oh
thanks
thanks
everyone,
we
are
on
to
the
task
force,
recommendations
for
City
Council.
G
Prioritization
and
ongoing
engagement
number
three,
that
staff
direct,
that
Council
direct
staff
in
consultation
with
musculum
Squamish
and
slow
tooth
to
develop
a
community-based
undrip
engagement
process
with
diverse
indigenous
populations
living
in
the
city
number
four,
that
Council
referred
to
the
city
of
Vancouver's
undripped
strategy
to
the
board
of
Parks
and
Recreation
Vancouver
Police
board,
Vancouver
Public,
Library
board
and
Vancouver
School
Board,
and
encourage
them
to
adopt
the
findings
of
the
task
force
and
collaborate
and
cross-departmental
implementation
to
ensure
their
own
policies
and
procedures
align
with
undrip
number
five.
That
Council
accept.
G
K
I
think
our
final
message
is
a
part
of
our
presentation
is,
as
you
can
see,
from
a
number
of
the
recommendations
that
there's
been
an
I
would
say
an
Earnest
and
good
faith.
Attempt
by
all
the
officials
involved
and
I
really
do
want
to
hold
my
hands
up
to
everybody.
That's
been
involved
in
this,
including
the
elected
officials
on
the
steering
committee,
are
task
force.
Technical
support,
including
I,
really
want
to
shout
out
the
city
of
Vancouver
staff
who
worked
on
this.
K
They
were
phenomenal
to
work
with
I've,
never
worked
with
a
team
of
people
who
are
as
organized
as
we've
had
and
any
organization
I've
ever
been
involved
in
and
the
the
dedication
the
preparedness,
the
quick
turnaround,
sometimes
on
things.
K
K
But
there
is
I
think
a
theme
through
the
work
and
when
I
look
at
this
photos
that
we
have
up
on
the
screen.
There's
there's
something
I
think
really
touching
for
our
people.
I
had
a
chance
to
visit
one
of
our
elders
from
my
community
after
the
ceremony,
and
she
had
seen
on
the
news
some
of
the
coverage
and
had
actually
watched
some
of
the
live
stream,
and
you
know
for
her.
She
just
shared
words
of
encouragement
that
she
was
really
happy
to
see.
K
This
work
done
that
she
was
happy
to
see
that
we
had
called
Witnesses
and
done
sort
of
the
ceremonial
work
and
I
know
we
had
spoken
to
this
last
week,
but
for
anybody
that
is
listening
as
well,
that
the
decision
to
hold
that
ceremony
really
came
about
from
the
feelings
of
the
task
force
that
here
today
we
are
sort
of
conducting
ourselves
in
the
processes
and
procedures
of
of
City
Hall
in
the
city
of
Vancouver.
The
requirements
under
you
know
the
Vancouver
Charter
and
the
laws
that
apply
to
this
institution.
K
When
talking
about
that
type
of
ceremony,
not
language,
we
would
necessarily
use
ourselves,
but
as
an
example,
when
we
conduct
these
ceremonies,
there
was
a
time
when
what
we
had
done
last
week
was
illegal.
There
was
a
time
when
our
people
could
face
jail
time
or
fines,
and
they
were
criminalized
for
decades
until
1951,
when
the
Indian
Act
was
amended,
and
some
of
those
pieces
of
the
law
were
dropped
in
a
sort
of
Reform
of
the
Indian
Act
and
our
people
had
to
go
underground
and
had
to
practice.
K
These
things
secretively
and
privately,
the
the
process
that
you
saw
that
day
can
happen
in
front
of
thousands
of
people,
and
they
do
happen
often
with
thousands
of
people
in
attendance,
and
sometimes
they
would
happen
in
a
church
basement
or
at
somebody's
kitchen
table
in
the
exact
same
process
was,
would
be
used.
K
There's
you
know,
documented
references
to
large
potlatches
or
what
our
old
timers
would
call
a
big
time,
big
time
sort
of
potlatch
at
ayombo
at
Jericho
Beach,
and
there
was
reportedly
2
000
people
who
had
traveled
there
by
canoe,
and
you
would
have
witnessed
a
similar
type
of
custom
take
place
there
and
so
the
reason
I
just
referenced.
That
is
this
is
an
example
I.
K
Think
of
that
coming
together
that
collaboration
that
meeting
us
as
equals
and
working
together
in
good
faith
and
and
really
that
good
faith
aspect
is,
has
been
a
lot
on
my
mind
through
this
process
that
everybody
has
approached
it
with
a
humility
and
a
kindness
and
there's
an
aspect
that
we're
talking
about
very
big
Ideas,
around
jurisdiction
and
law
and
and
and
sort
of
the
recommendations
and
what
they
could
achieve.
K
But
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
what
really
this
boils
down
to
is
a
true
genuine
kindness
that
the
kindness
that
can
be
received
and
given
by
all
the
parties
involved,
that
the
heart
of
this
concept
of
reconciliation
is
that
there
is
a
healing
that
happens
and
that
we
can
transition
or
transform
ourselves
Beyond
sort
of
the
pain
and
suffering
that
has
been
caused,
but
also
move
to
a
place
where
there
is
abundance
of
healing
and
an
abundance
of
wealth
and
an
abundance
of
of
joy.
K
That
can
be
felt
by
all
involved
and
I.
Think.
My
closing
message
on
this
is
that,
although
this
is
the
sort
of
work
of
the
city
of
Vancouver's
task
force
for
implementing
undrip,
that
this
report
is
the
undrip
strategy
that
it
is
in
many
ways
specific
to
indigenous
peoples
and,
in
particular
the
muscular
Squamish
enslaved
to
people.
I.
K
That
Vancouver
and
British,
Columbia
and
Canada
will
be
a
far
better
place
for
everybody
involved
through
the
full
enjoyment
of
the
rights
of
indigenous
people
that
what
we
see
emerging
through
the
work
that
we
do
together
is
that
when
we
come
together
and
we
work
together,
we
can
create
something
that
we
couldn't
create.
K
If
we
tried
to
do
it
on
our
own,
that
we
are
creating
Mutual
benefit
or
or
impact
that
is
going
to
benefit
all
Vancouver
rights,
including
Muslim,
Squamish
and
slavery,
tooth
peoples
and
so
I
think
about
all
the
projects
that
we're
doing
to
get
all
the
work
that
we've
done
together
and
how
collaborative
and
respectful
it
has
been
and
I
think.
K
Ultimately,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
this
work
is
really
about
making
our
home
here
in
this
place
in
the
world,
that
we
call
Vancouver
the
territories
of
the
Muslim,
Squamish
and
celebrated
people
that
we
are
making
this
place
a
better
place.
The
best
place
that
we
can
not
just
for
ourselves
but
for
future
generations
and
I
think
that
this
is
the
first
attempt
to
try
and
wrestle
with
these
topics
and
these
questions.
It
is
a
first
attempt
to
try
to
understand
how
we
might
work
together
through
this
tool
of
undrip
But.
K
Talking
about
the
work
that
we
built
on
previous
leadership,
Generations
Elders
predecessors,
and
so
we
really
thank
you
all
for
this
time
to
present
and
share
I,
really
want
to
acknowledge
my
colleagues
from
the
task
force.
Again,
the
staff
for
all
of
this,
and
really
just
holding
my
hands
up
to
each
and
every
one
of
you
thanking
you
from
the
bottom
of
our
heart,
I.
K
Think
a
lot
about
our
people
who
aren't
with
us
here
today,
but
I
wanted
to
be
here
and
really
just
expressing
our
gratitude,
because
we've
learned
a
lot
from
this.
We've
gained
a
lot
from
this
and
we
hope
to
gain
more
through
working
together
as
well
to
not
quite
see
clearance
Nation.
Those
are
my
words.
Thank
you.
A
Thanks
very
much
for
the
presentation
and
all
the
work
I
do
have
questions
from
counselors,
which
is
up
to
five
minutes
each
and
then
we
have.
We
have
speakers
as
well
just
a
reminder.
So
counselor
we
be
about
the
five.
Please
go
ahead.
B
Yeah,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
report
and
it's
been
powerful
and
my
favorite
thing
about
being
elected
is
the
teachings
and
learnings
that
I've
learned
with
First
Nations
four
years.
My
first
question:
we
all
took
pictures
here
for
the
year
of
indigenous
languages,
but
nothing
was
done
and
what
I
don't
want
to
do
today
is
pass
the
strategy.
That's
not
implementable.
J
The
question
specifically
about
the
year
of
indigenous
languages,
work
I,
don't
know
if
there's
a
staff
person
who
has
an
update
on
on
where
that
is
at
I
know
it
with
an
added
item
in
the
budget.
I
know
we.
B
B
Recognizing
the
colonial
audit
done
at
Park,
Board,
there's
a
conversation
saying
that
it's
necessary
for
a
city
to
really
do
the
truth
phase
before
we
move
to
reconciliation,
so
that
the
solutions
don't
seem
like
we're,
inviting
white
series
saverism
and
also
recognizing
that
as
a
city,
we
need
to
do
the
tough
work
and
so
I'm
just
wondering
recognizing
what
role
we
can
play
as
a
city
to
make
sure
that
we
do
our
work
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
just
doing
naming
I.
Think
in
the
report.
It
talked
about.
B
K
Thank
you
for
the
excellent
question.
I
think
both
on
the
sort
of
I'm
going
to
try
and
answer
both
of
your
questions
at
once
on
the
funding
and
that
question,
and
also
on
sort
of
prioritization,
which
I
think
is
one
of
the
lessons
that
came
through
this
is
we
hadn't
had
a
process
prior
to
this,
where
the
nations
were
really
coming
together
and
then
working
amongst
ourselves
to
then
come
to
the
city
of
Vancouver,
with
clear
recommendations
or
even
a
preference
on
prioritizing
of
those
many
recommendations.
K
So,
for
example,
and
I
said
this
at
a
meeting,
you
know
I
heard
a
chief
at
a
meeting
a
couple
years
ago
say:
well,
you
have
79
priorities.
Do
you
really
have
any
priorities?
And
we
do
have
a
number
of
recommendations
here,
but
I
think
what
comes
out
of
this
is
process
and
the
ability
for
the
Nations
to
actually
respond
in
a
timely
manner
and
to
be
able
to
give
clear
Direction.
K
So,
whether
it's
on
to
work
like
a
colonial
audit
or
the
languages
or
even
funding,
is
that
we
have
now
a
clear
process
that
worked
well
from
this,
that
we
can
continue
on
to
be
able
to
help
provide
Direction,
I.
K
We
hadn't
tried
anything
to
address
that.
It
was
a
lot
of
the
city
having
to
reach
out
to
three
so
the
communities
and
then
wait
for
responses
and
then
try
to
coordinate
this
sort
of
allowed
for
a
new
process
to
be
able
to
move
quickly
on
giving
comment
or
feedback
and
and
also
to
include
the
councils
as
a
part
of
that
process.
K
So
I
think
the
hope
is
on
the
funding
with
the
Nations
to
be
able
to
come
forward
and
say,
here's
what
we
think
we
would
need
to
in
order
to
staff
ourselves
to
be
able
to
work
on
this,
but
also
of
the
79.
We
want
to
work
with
the
city
of
Vancouver
in
the
next
iteration
to
identify
what
is
the
quick
wins
or
what
are
the
first
things?
We
can
do
right
out
of
the
gate.
What
are
the
things
we
can
get
done
in
year?
One?
K
What
are
the
things
you
can
get
done
in
year
two
and
actually
develop
that
into
the
action
plan,
so
I
would
say
yes,
there's
often
a
lot
of
talk
or
commitments
made
with
very
little
follow-through,
but
I
do
think
that
what
there's
a
quote
that
I'm
going
to
try
to
remember,
which
is
we
don't
rise
to
the
level
of
our
goals?
We
fall
to
the
level
of
our
processes
and
systems,
and
so
I
think
what's
coming
out
of
this.
K
G
Just
add
for
a
quick
one
regarding
the
follow-up
and
follow
through
and
one
thing
I
remember.
Last
time
we
had
a
presentation
year.
I
think
you
asked
like
where
was
the
the
senior
director
position
within
the
city
so
now
that
I've
been
able
to
participate
in
a
few
different
meetings
outside
of
untrip
with
the
new
senior
director
of
indigenous
relations?
I
think
that's
a
great
Avenue
for
the
city
and
our
men
as
well,
so
that
we
can
follow
up
on
the
processes
and
systems
and
and
and
short-term
actionable
items
to
come.
G
B
A
Appreciate
it
thanks
so
much
counselor
Bly.
E
Thanks
very
much
and
thank
you
for
the
work
and
the
presentation.
The
report
I
just
have
a
few
follow-up
questions
and
I
believe
it
was
talked
about
under
calls
to
action
theme.
Three
self-determination
and
Salem
I
believe
it
was
you
that
were
speaking
to
that,
but
forgive
me
if
I'm
incorrect,
developing
process
of
government
to
government
and
really
acting
in
good
faith
that
people
will
operate
with
or
how
I
heard
it
is
sort
of
people
operating
with
sort
of
a
shared
interest
or
shared
shared
values.
K
It
started
at
one
place
and
it's
evolved
and
moved
into
a
new
place
and,
and
the
relationship
has
endured
elections,
for
example,
that
it
wasn't
necessarily
about
the
individuals
who
might
be
at
the
table
on
any
of
the
sides,
but
that
the
relationship
between
this
city
of
Vancouver
and
the
Nations
has
become
so
strong
that
our
ability
to
call
each
other
or
talk
to
each
other
as
an
example,
the
the
relationship
that
the
Nations
often
have
on
different
projects
of
the
city
of
Vancouver.
K
We
don't
have
that
same
kind
of
relationship
with
the
province
or
feds.
It
is
not
necessarily
this,
for
example,
when
I,
when
we
speak
to
our
counterparts,
who
had
worked
on
federal
or
provincial
work
around
undrip,
they
would
often
use
terminology
of
negotiations,
whereas
we
were
often
just
talking
about
it
as
a
conversation
and
I.
K
E
Okay,
okay,
that's
great
I,
just
have
two
more
questions.
If
I
may
I'm
really
I
think
it's
one
important
one,
because
the
example
that
was
offered
around
2.3
was
the
Iona
wastewater
treatment
plant
and
as
a
Metro
decision,
I'm
just
curious.
If
you
can
elaborate
on
any
involvement
that
Metro's
had
and
this
work,
if
at
all
of
course,
we've
got
some
cross
governmental
counselors
that
are
working
in
both
but
yeah.
It
would
be
helpful
to
know
and
then
what
opportunity
there
is
going
forward
to
bring
this
to
Metro.
B
Well,
with
the
the
Iona
Water
Treatment
Plant,
it's
been
something
that
you
know
has
been
in
place
for
years
and
musqueam
has
been
trying
to
deal
with
Metro
Vancouver
on
either
reallocating
that
treatment
plant,
and
you
know
there
have
been
some
tough
discussions.
I
personally
is
on
Console
or
are
not
in
those
negotiations
or
or
that,
but
I
needed
to
mention
it,
because
it
does
have
an
impact
on
our
our
Reserve,
where
it
doesn't
allow
for
housing.
B
It's
taken
up
a
lot
of
our
grounds
for,
for
you,
know
the
creek.
It's
affected
the
creek
and
other
things
like
that.
So
we
could
probably
get
get
you
an
answer
for
that.
Okay,.
K
I'll
just
add
that
the
nation's
I
don't
want
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
Nations,
so
I'm
going
to
try
and
word
this
diplomatically
I.
K
My
understanding
is
a
muslimation
say
we
did
have
their
own
bilateral
relationships
with
Metro
on
different
issues,
so
Squamish
does
musconviously
what
he
does,
but
also
that
that
same
sort
of
positive
relationship,
building
that
happens
with
the
city
of
Vancouver
has
also
started
to
happen
within
Metro
Vancouver
and
as
an
example,
Metro
Vancouver,
CEO,
Jerry
dolivani
used
to
work
here
at
the
city
and
so
a
lot
of
the
work
that
happened
here
at
the
city,
around
reconciliation,
the
reconciliation
framework,
I
think
really
influenced
or
impacted
Jerry
that
when
he
moved
on
to
Metro,
taking
those
ideas
and
then
building
them
within
their
Administration,
their
team
so
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
relationship
building
happening
there
and
I
think
that
there's
also
continued
conversations
around
I
think
by
folks
involved
through
Metro
around
some
of
these
ideas.
K
So
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
really
good
relationship
building
happening
there.
There
hasn't
been
specific
conversations
yet
around
the
recommendations
in
this
I
think
the
Hope
was
to
bring
it
here
to
this
Council
should
it
get
approved,
then
we
would
continue
on
with
those
conversations
thanks.
So.
A
Much
councilor
Herbert
up
to
five.
C
First
of
all,
would
you
reset
my
timer,
please
and
secondly,
I'd
like
to
move
for
a
second
round
of
questions?
Okay,.
C
Thank
you
so
in
reading
the
report
I
have
concerns
about
jurisdictional
issues
and
so
I'd
like
to
to
start
with
the
discussion.
C
As
we
just
heard
around
the
relationship
with
Metro
twasen
First
Nations
has
a
seat
on
Metro
as
we
know,
because
it
negotiated
and
achieved
self-government
through
the
treaty
commission
to
Watson
exited
the
Indian
Act,
and
my
question
is:
why
must
we
have
Squamish
and
saber
tooth
not
have
done
the
same
if,
if
their
interest
is
in
having
a
seat
at
the
table,
similar
to
what
tawasan
First
Nations
has
done.
K
The
so
on
the
answer
of
sort
of
final
agreement
and
treaty
negotiations,
there
is
a
that
is
a
big
topic
that
is
separate
from
some
of
this
work,
because
I
think
that
that
would
require
specific
responses
from
each
of
the
Nations
sort
of
to
be
able
to
respond
that
we
don't
have
a
fulsome
time
for.
K
But
the
one
thing
I'll
say
is
that
the
provincial
and
federal
governments
have
engaged
in
processes
and
have
amended
their
policies
over
the
year
to
actually
allow
for
a
more
customized
approach
to
relationship
between
First
Nations
and
the
crown.
So,
for
example,
The
Province
and
the
FEDS
don't
require
a
lot
of
things
that
they
used
to
require
on
First
Nations
when
negotiating
treaty.
K
That
they've
found
that
having
the
Nations
actually
come
forward
and
identify
what
their
interests
are
where
they
would
like
to
move
is
a
much
more
effective,
successful
way
to
achieve
agreements
on
a
number
of
things.
So,
instead
of
a
process
where
it's
sort
of
comprehensive-
and
you
have
to
agree
to
everything
all
at
once-
they've
opted
more
for
a
customized
tailored
approach
and
so
different
nations
will
come
forward
with
different
sort
of
topics
or
issues
that
they
want
to
advance.
K
And
so,
although,
at
the
time
the
policy
was
sort
of
more
of
a
comprehensive
treaty
agreement,
what
we've
seen
now
is
that
the
province
in
relation
to
Metro
or
mayor's
Council
things
like
that
that
they
are
willing
to
do
more
targeted,
specific
changes
without
a
requirement
to
negotiate
a
comprehensive
package.
And
so,
as
an
example
of
that,
the
dripa
action
plan
includes
a
specific
objective
to
increase
First
Nations
representation
on
Regional
District
boards
and
they've
already
started
on
this
in
a
number
of
areas
around
the
province
outside
of
treaty
as
well.
C
So
change
the
rules
to
suit,
rather
than
pursue
what
has
been
done
in
the
past
through
treaty
negotiation.
My
next
question
is:
there's
been
the
assertion
in
the
report
that
Muslim
Squamish
language
tooth
are
right
and
the
rights
and
title
holders
of
the
land
of
the
city
of
Vancouver,
it's
Pages,
seven,
nine
and
throughout
there's
no
discussion
of
the
property
rights
and
interests
of
non-indigenous
people
being
the
large
majority
of
the
residents
of
Vancouver.
C
How
do
you
think
the
calls
are
making
calls
to
action?
Implementation
might
affect
the
residents
of
Vancouver
in
the
whole,
if,
indeed,
what
you're
suggesting?
Is
that
that
you
are
the
rights
and
title
holders.
K
I
will
do
my
best
to
answer
this,
although
I'm
not
a
lawyer,
so
I
might
get
further
advice
on
this,
but.
K
The
only
comment
that
I
can
add
is
that
within
Canadian
case
law
in
terms
of
constitutional
law,
that's
been
decided
by
the
Supreme
Court,
where
they
have
both
acknowledged
the
existence
of
Aboriginal
title
and
then
also
further
defined
Aboriginal
title
in
the
till
called
teen
decision,
which
was
the
first
Supreme
Court
decision
to
acknowledge
and
recognize
indigenous
title
of
an
indigenous
Nation.
But
the
underlying
ownership
of
title
within
Canada
is
Aboriginal
title
and
then
that
crown
title
and
other
forms
of
title
then
come
on
top
of
that
indigenous
title.
K
But
they
also
further
commented
that
that
overlap
is
where
the
work
of
reconciliation
happens,
that
there
is
an
inherent
conflict
that
arrives
sometimes
between
the
Baseline
Aboriginal
title
and
then
crown
title
and
then
further
on
from
there
into
things
like
a
private
title.
So
the
work
of
reconciliation
has
been
to
move
through
those
I
think
conflicts.
K
But
ultimately,
in
this
report
and
within
the
recommendations,
the
the
they
really
speak
to
opportunities
in
targeted
specific
ways
to
be
able
to
work
together
on
that.
And
there
have
been
examples
where
the
city
of
Vancouver
has
worked
with
the
Nations
around
land
issues.
K
So
there
isn't
a
lot
of
contemplation
around
any
or
even
in
any
mention
or
or
consideration
of
conflict
between
things
like
private
title
and
Aboriginal
title.
It
really
speaks
to
more
around
decision
making
or
interests
or
impacts,
but
also
opportunities,
for
example,
on
things
like
environmental
restoration,
access
to
cultural
sites.
Things
like
that.
H
Great.
Thank
you
very
thanks
very
much
and
the
opportunity
to
ask
questions.
My
first
question
is
really
around
the
idea
and
I
guess
it.
It
sort
of
follows
on
what
counselor
Hardwick
was
talking
about
the
opportunity
for
people
to
understand
what
musculinity
squamishes
play
with
truth
might
be
interested
in
doing
in
terms
of
these
particular
recommendations
in
restoring
the
environment,
access
to
cultural
sites
or
sites
of
significance.
K
There
are
a
number
of
initiatives
that
the
Nations
have
worked
on,
for
example,
with
Port
Vancouver
port
and
even
in
some
of
the
stream
restoration
projects
that
have
happened
throughout
Vancouver
or
on
the
foreshore.
K
K
So
I
would
say
that
it's
been
a
value
and
a
principle
for
the
Nations
and
then
I
think
the
Hope
through
this
work
is
to
be
able
to
identify
where
the
city
of
Vancouver
is
already
doing
work
and
then,
where,
where
the
Nations
like
to
be
more
involved
and
also
are
there
areas
where
the
nations
want
to
come
forward
and
identify
as
priority
areas.
K
So
there's
a
number
of
places
that
are
currently
happening.
I
think
false
Creek
is
another
example
where
I
think
there's
probably
a
lot
of
shared
interest,
but
also
opportunity,
because
the
nations
are
also
able
to
engage
with
the
crown
at
the
provincial
and
federal
level
in
a
way
that
the
city
might
not
be
able
to,
because
we
have
separate
sort
of
Rights
recognized
by
law.
So.
H
Great
yeah
I
think
that
the
more
examples
that
people
can
give
the
better
just
in
terms
of
understanding
sort
of
how
it
might
unfold
as
we
work
together.
H
My
second
question
may
not
be
directed
necessarily
at
you.
It
arises
that
if
your
state
was
especially
by
councilor
Fraser,
but
it
might
be
directed
to
staff
and
I'll,
leave
it
up
to
you
to
decide
about
that.
H
I
couldn't
help
but
reflect
on
the
importance
of
today
in
our
city
and
and
the
News
being
filled
this
morning
of
a
ceremony
that
the
helsink
nation
was
was
holding
regarding
an
apology
from
members
of
the
VPD
for
an
arrest
that
was
made
and
I'm
wondering
around
the
training
in
terms
of
cultural
competency
and
understanding
hillfilling.
You
said
at
the
beginning
of
this:
we
are
grounded
in
ceremony,
and
so
I
was
thinking
this
morning.
H
As
I
listened
to
the
news,
there
was
a
ceremony
around
apology
and
the
importance
of
understanding
what
that
what
that
means.
So
what
are
the
city's
plans
for
grounding
people
in
in
throughout
our
whole
organization,
in
the
importance
of
understanding
ceremony
and
the
process
of
working
together?
In
terms
of
we
use
the
term
cultural,
competency
or
arm,
and
maybe
or
somebody
so.
L
Thanks
counselor
counselors,
so,
yes,
we
are
there's
a
number
of
initiatives
underway
in
terms
of
Staff
training
programs
that
we
have
available
sessions,
that
we
have
run,
workshops,
seminars
and
so
on.
We
have
our
elders
and
residence
program.
A
number
of
employee
support
groups,
so
there's
lots
of
work
underway.
L
But
clearly
a
step
coming
out
of
this
with
council's
endorsement
will
be
to
take
the
next
step
and
look
holistically
in
this
organization
about
what
we
need
to
do
for
staff
on
the
education
side
and
we're
certainly
interested
to
hear
from
the
incoming
Council
as
well
as
how
we
can
support
in
that
regard.
As.
H
Well:
okay,
when
we
thank
you
for
that,
I
do
remember
that
we
did
have
a
competency
training
not
only
for
staff,
but
for
counselors
and
is
that
is
as
anticipated.
We
have
a
new
Council
coming
in.
D
Thanks
mayor
and
and
thank
you
to
all
of
you
for
the
the
work
on
this,
it's
fantastic
I
just
have
a
couple
of
questions.
D
K
Yes,
the
interim
approach
that's
been
announced
by
The
Province
was
something
that
was
developed
collaboratively
with
the
First
Nations
Leadership
Council,
so
the
union
BC
Indian
chiefs,
bcsm
assembly,
First
Nations
and
the
First
Nations
Summit,
and
is
intended
to
provide
direction
to
all
of
the
Ministries
and
as
they
are
either
developing
legislation
or
looking
at
amending
legislation.
What
is
their
policy
directive
for
how
they
should
engage?
First
Nations
around
those
changes,
because
section
three
of
dripa
requires
that
all
laws
come
into
alignment
with
undrip.
K
So
until
this
point
there
wasn't
really
specific
instructions
for
the
Ministries
on
how
they
would
do
that
work.
That
now
has
been
provided
to
them
as
an
interim
approach.
And
what
we'll
find
is
that
in
the
coming
years,
there'll
be
new
legislation
or
previous
legislation
that
will
need
to
be
amended.
There's
kind
of
a
dual
aspect:
to
that.
One
is
legislation
that
the
province
is
intending
to
sort
of
bring
forward
through
their
own
agenda,
but
also
legislative
of
the
Nations
themselves
are
specifically
asking
be
reviewed.
K
K
There
are
some
things
that
the
Nations
had
actually
asked
to
be
included
in
the
action
plan
and
they
weren't
with
regard
to
some
of
the
more
municipal-based
legislation.
So
those
become
areas
of
continued
advocacy,
I.
Think
but
what's
been
helpful.
Is
that
as
The
Province
does
those
types
of
policy
initiatives
they
become
best
practices
for
us
to
look
at
adopting
or
using
or
adapting
I
should
say
to
other
contexts
like
Municipal
governance,.
D
Fantastic.
Thank
you.
A
couple
more
questions.
I'll
tie
these
two
together
around
housing
and
and
this
position
of
city-owned
lands
is
I
know.
There.
We've
had
some
conversations
with
Urban,
metis
and
urban
Nishka
and
how
you
see
that
fitting
in
they
have
an
interest
in
housing
as
well
and
I'm,
just
curious
about
how
that
fits
in
with
the
strategy,
and
if
you
could
comment
on
that
and
opportunities
for
collaboration
with
MST.
K
You
know
we
have
long
wait
lists
things
like
that,
but
one
of
the
opportunities
that
also
is
emerging
is
that
when
we
look
at
some
of
the
MST
specific
developments,
whether
it's
Heather
or
Jericho
and
others
when
we
look
at
the
inclusionary
zoning
aspects
that
the
nations
are
including
in
that
there's
going
to
be
a
huge
amount
of
need
to
build
the
infrastructure
to
both
develop
and
then
manage
those
units
that
are
provided,
whether
it's
attainable
housing,
affordable,
housing,
social
housing.
K
So
there
are
conversations
happening
at
the
nation
around
what
that's
going
to
look
like
in
terms
of
the
nation's
management
of
those
units.
But
the
reality
is
that,
as
we
do
more
of
these
types
of
projects,
together
with
the
city,
the
amount
of
units
that
become
available
in
that
there's
a
lot
of
considerations
for
the
Nations,
including
that
some
of
our
people
might
not
want
to
necessarily
live
in
those
areas.
They
might
want
to
live
more
in
the
sort
of
physical
reserves.
So
what
does
it
look
like,
then?
K
For
the
nation
to
have
almost
like
a
surplus
of
affordable
housing
units,
and
what
do
the
nations
want
to
do
in
that
circumstance,
events
and
I
think
that
there
is
continued
conversations
with
other
providers
around
how
we
might
be
able
to
be
of
assistance
to
other
groups
or
other
non-profit
housing
societies.
The
other
aspect
to
it,
too,
is
I,
know
talking
to,
for
example,
the
Aboriginal
land
trust
and
some
of
the
folks
involved.
K
There
is
that
they
also
have
a
lot
of
Muslim,
Squamish
and
slavery
to
tenants
and
some
of
the
other
indigenous
non-profit
housing
societies,
and
that,
as
we
build
housing
for
our
members,
those
people
potentially
move
into
the
units
we
manage,
which
frees
up
those
units
for
other
indigenous
people
to
then
sort
of
occupy
them.
So
there's
a
natural
sort
of
Alliance
that
works
from
all
of
this
work
happening
so
to
speak,
fantastic.
A
Can
you
wait
for
a
second
round
just
because
we're
sure
20
seconds
left
thanks
so
much
just
before
I
go
to
counselor
Kirby
young,
just
wondering
at
councilor
fry?
Could
you
just
take
the
chair?
I
was
just
going
to
step
up
for
a
sec.
Thank
you.
So
much.
I
Mr
Fry
I'm
just
going
to
expand
a
little
bit
because
councilor
Carr
got
in
the
air
of
my
question
and
just
hearing
some
of
the
dialogue
around
the
table.
I
I
just
wanted
to
touch
a
little
bit
more
on
how
important
do
you
believe
that
the
role
of
education
is
in
terms
of
not
just
developing
learning
and
knowledge?
And
you
know
we
hear
there
are
a
lot
of
gaps.
I
didn't
I
heard
somebody
speaking
on
the
radio
this
morning.
It
said
you
know:
I
have
two
history
degrees,
for
example,
and
I
wasn't
taught
this
right.
I
It
was
never
kind
of
part
of
what
we
learned
growing
up
and
then
I
hear
some
of
the
questions
around
the
table
and
I
also
cursed
me
there's
a
process
of
unlearning
perspectives,
so
I'm
wondering
if
you
can
sort
of
speak
to
and
in
reference
to
things
like
the
helsink
nation
and
that's
just
I,
think
only
one
example
of
that
happens
to
be
the
current
one
at
the
moment
is
how
important
is
that
education
process,
whether
it's
with
first
line
first
Frontline
First
Responders,
like
police,
or
whether
it's
with
City
staff,
your
reference
library,
others
kind
of
in
the
report
to
put
a
priority
on
that
in
this
work?.
G
But
as
an
excellent
question,
it's
something
that's
been
on
my
mind
for
quite
some
time,
and
you
know
we're
seeing
good
positive
change
right
now.
When
you
look
at
the
Vancouver
School
Board
you're,
looking
at
North,
End
School
District,
a
lot
of
our
kids
are
learning
are
indigenous
ways
of
being
at
a
very
young
age
where
it
was
eliminated
in
our
history.
G
Textbooks
so
I
see
it
already,
starting
from
the
ground
up,
and
it's
trickling
vertically
to
our
parents
for
them
to
actually
start
and
be
curious
to
learn
more
about
the
host
nations
from
a
kid
that
is
very
important.
What
also
is
important
is
the
work
that
we've
accomplished
today
on
this
undripped
task
force,
the
city,
councilors
and
also
our
nation
counselors,
that
this
task
force
for
a
year.
It
wasn't
just
a
task
force.
It
was
a
journey.
G
It
was
an
experiential
Journey
that
was
transformative
for
the
people
that
were
on
the
task
force
and
for
them
to
witnessing
the
ceremony
that
we
had
last
week.
Those
are
all
learning
moments
and
with
working
with
the
city
manager,
Armin
and
then
the
indigenous
relations
manager.
This
is
where
those
templates
can
work
on.
How
can
we
create
those
educational
packages,
those
educational
moments
of
onboarding,
continuous
education
for
the
mayor
and
Council
senior
directors
staff?
So
that
still
it's
that's
our
goal?
G
That's
that's
our
expectation
in
the
following
months
and
that's
why
it's
so
critical
for
the
next
steps
is
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
existing
count.
G
City
of
council
members
on
this
task
force
with
the
existing
task
force
from
the
MST
Nations,
because
we're
the
ones
that
experience
that
journey
together
and
we
can
also
have
onboarding
with
new
the
incoming
City
councilors
so
that
they
can
come,
but
also
just
absorb
the
information
so
you're,
not
starting
from
Ground
Zero
you're,
still
allowing
that
continuation
of
learning
together
and
people
are
learning
at
the
same
time.
Okay,.
I
The
indigenations
have
traveled
to
meet
the
architect
in
Europe
than
a
part
of
reflecting
kind
of
the
culture,
and
the
history
of
the
facade
now
represents
and
reflects
Coast
Salish,
weaving
things
like
indigenous
storytellers
and
residents
at
the
library
or
the
you
know,
city
of
Vancouver's
official
poet.
I
You
know
in
terms
of
the
arts
and
culture
aspect:
do
you
see
that
as
a
sort
of
the
product
of
opportunity
to
engage
the
public,
and
could
we
be
doing
more
there?
What
kind
of
stands
out
for
you
that
you
thought
wow,
that's
a
great
one
or
I
wish?
We
had
done
this.
K
One
of
the
things
I
also
point
to
is
one
of
the
recommendations
and
we
sort
of
worded
it
in
a
certain
way
to
give
a
little
flexibility,
but
where
it
came
from
was
some
of
us
had
visited
a
few
other
cities,
mostly
in
Europe,
where
they
actually,
their
City
Hall,
had
created
sort
of
a
a
Civic
public
education
program
where
residents,
citizens
or
even
visitors
can
just
go
to
City
Hall,
and
they
would
have
like
this
monthly
training
that
was
open
to
everybody
as
a
kind
of
an
example
or
an
inspiration
of
what
could
be
possible
here
where
we
imagine
like,
potentially
what,
on
the
guidance
of
the
nation
where
maybe
City
Hall
once
a
month,
there's
representatives
from
the
communities
who
can
you
know
people
can
sign
up,
and
it's
just
something
that
City
Hall
hosts
to
do
a
two-hour
sort
of
workshop
with
people.
K
So
there's
things
like
that,
but
ideas
where
we
think
that
there
can
be
a
lot
of
Education
I.
Think,
fundamentally,
it
comes
to
resources,
there's
only
a
certain
amount
of
our
people
that
can
be
put
to
task
to
develop
these
things
and
there's
also
a
certain
amount
of
people
who
who
have
either
been
trained
or
feel
comfortable
being
able
to
do
those
types
of
trainings.
K
But
there's
also
other
ways
where,
when
we
think
about
policy
one
example
that
I
think
was
wonderfully
received
by
the
Nations
is
when
the
Skookum
Festival
happened
at
Stanley
Park.
They
had
engaged
the
Vancouver
Park
Board
about
using
that
site
and
the
park
board
said
we
have
a
principle
and
a
policy
that
the
Nations
have
to
be
consulted
on
this
and
that
you
have
to
obtain
permission
from
the
Nations.
And
so
then
they
had
to
go
to
the
Nations
and
get
our
permission
which
allowed
for
us
to
say.
K
We
would
like
to
see
these
things
Incorporated,
which
eventually
resulted
in
20
of
the
programming
were
indigenous
artists.
Our
people
were
involved
throughout
a
lot
of
the
development
and
the
design.
We
did
openings
and
welcomes
as
a
part
of
all,
and
then
there
was
displays
and
art
all
of
that
became
opportunities
for
people
to
be
educated
and
learn,
but
it
started
with
that
sort
of
policy
directive.
It
wasn't
us
trying
to
ask
to
be
brought
in.
K
I
L
Thank
you,
councilor
Hardwick
second
round
for
five.
C
C
Okay,
in
that
case,
I'd
like
to
go
and
talk
about
city
responsibility
and
my
concerns
about
overreach.
C
I'm
concerned
that
no
such
responsibilities
exist.
Beyond
those
owed
to
Vancouver
citizens
generally,
as
in
the
Constitution
Act,
so
I
interested
to
understand
why
these
responsibilities
are
being
pressed
onto
the
city
that
are
outside
of
their
jurisdiction
and
responsibility.
J
I'm
I'm
happy
to
take
a
first
attempt
at
answering
that
the
the
first
thing
that
came
to
mind,
as
you
were
speaking,
was
my
own
memory
of
attending
the
Truth
and
Reconciliation
events
in
the
city
of
Vancouver
and,
quite
frankly,
of
growing
up
in
this
City
close
to
one
of
the
musqueam
nation
reserves
and
a
lifetime
as
a
settler
of
unlearning.
J
As
someone
previously
spoke
about
and
learning
this
shared
history
and
our
shared
responsibilities
to
address
the
atrocities
of
our
history
and
so
in
the
presentation
you
heard
about
some
of
the
work
of
other
levels
of
government
in
implementing
undrip,
as
well
as
that,
actually
implementing
on
drip
at
every
level
of
government
was
a
specific
call
to
action
of
the
Truth
and
Reconciliation
Commission,
and
so
we're
on
we're.
We're
I,
don't
like
the
word.
J
Paving
we're
forging
new
ground
here
together
in
looking
to
how
we
Implement
undrip
as
one
piece
of
addressing
that
shared
history,
and
we
have
a
role
as
a
local
government.
J
Just
as
provincial
and
federal
governments
have
a
role
in
in
in
redress
in
reconciliation
and
in
improving
the
quality
of
life
and
the
relationships
and
for
all
of
us
going
forward.
C
Okay,
that
does
really
answer
my
question,
because
what
we
are
talking
about
is
the
responsibilities
of
that
are
legislative
and
legal
and
similarly,
under
joint
development
control.
There
were
inferences
in
this
that
suggest
joint
land
use
decision
making
page
22-24,
which
is
contrary
to
the
Vancouver
Charter,
which
generally
grants
authority
to
council
with
limited
exceptions.
K
There's
a
couple
of
factors
that
are
playing
in
on
this
one
is
that
there
is
a
case
law
that
speaks
to
the
responsibility
of
delegated
authorities,
of
the
crown,
whether
it's
a
crown
Corporation
or
entities
that
have
been
created
by
the
crown,
in
this
case
provincially
and
the
responsibility
of
those
entities
to
and
their
responsibilities
with
regard
to
section
35
of
the
Canadian
Charter,
which
speaks
to
Aboriginal
rights
and
title,
but
also
additionally,
because
of
both
now
Federal
and
provincial
law.
K
There
is
a
requirement
that
all
laws,
provincially
and
federally
have
to
become
in
alignment
with
undrip,
and
so
there
is
going
to
be
work
as
laws
become
evaluated
and
amended
over
time
in
consultation
with
First
Nations
in
terms
of
the
specific
interaction
of
the
legal
requirements.
K
The
the
recommendations
here
are
intended
to
be
high
level
that
the
exact
process
that
would
be
engaged
in
would
be
further
developed
coming
out
of
this.
So
there
is
a
recognition.
I
should
say
that,
although
there
are
specific
Clauses
and
considerations
say,
for
example,
the
Vancouver
Charter,
it's
really
about
trying
to
find
the
ways
to
work
within
those
constraints
until
such
time
that
those
constraints
are
then
revised
or
amended,
which
will
eventually
have
to
happen
with
the
Vancouver
Charter,
The,
Local,
Government,
Act
and
other
legislations.
So
it's
not
too
prescriptive.
K
It's
intended
to
be
open
in
a
certain
respect
to
allow
for
that
flexibility,
but
the
main
thing
I'll
say
is
that
there
is
a
requirement
on
these
issues
around
sort
of
actors
that
are
acting
on
behalf
of
the
province,
but
this
is
just
an
attempt
to
be
a
bit
forward.
K
Looking
in
that
sense,
when
we
engaged
in
conversations
with
the
province
around
this
work
early
on
at
a
sort
of
staff
to
staff
level,
their
response
to
us
was,
you
know,
as
you
come
up
with
proposals
or
recommendations,
you
know
bring
them
to
us
and
we
would
we'd
be
interested
to
see
what
comes
out
of
those
recommendations.
K
So
it's
early
I
would
say
I
would
agree,
but
there
is
sort
of
a
number
of
places
where
we're
trying
to
operate
in
the
sandbox
that
we
have
available
to
us,
while
at
the
same
time,
developing
new
processes
to
achieve
those
types
of
expectations.
C
J
It
is
at
both
ends,
these
are
high
level
goals.
There
has
been
legal
review
and
an
acknowledgment
that
it's
a
an
evolving
legal
terrain,
and
so
we
will
continue
to
be
part
of
that
evolution.
C
L
Yeah,
thank
you
and
please
forgive
me.
I
won't
stand
I
kind
of
pulled
my
back
this
morning
and
I
just
don't
feel
like
standing,
so
not
a
sign
of
disrespect.
Appreciative
of
all
the
work
that's
gone
into
this
and
I
had
a
couple
of
questions.
L
Number
one
there's
mention
in
here
of
capacity
building
and
I
and
I
recall
a
conversation
with
the
with
the
head
of
the
First
Nations
Public
Service
Secretariat,
talking
about
the
real
issues,
with
capacity
for
First
Nations
across
British,
Columbia
and
and
how
oftentimes
a
lot
of
the
the
work
that
we
do
unfairly
burdens
Nations
without
the
capacity
to
do
this
work
and
I'm
wondering
if
you
could
I
know
it's
in
this
in
the
report,
I'm
wondering
if
you
can
reflect
a
little
bit
on
what's
needed
for
capacity
building.
K
There's
two
answers:
I
would
give
to
that.
One
is
there's
just
there
is
a
real
capacity
Gap
in
the
sense
that
our
communities
only
have
a
certain
amount
of
people
who
can
do
certain
tasks
or
or
be
involved,
because
they're
sort
of
spread
between
maybe
20
or
40
Projects,
and
so
there
are
those
gaps.
K
However,
the
Nations
have
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
around
employment
and
training
and
developing
employment
and
training
opportunities
for
our
members.
We
have,
for
example,
an
MST
employment,
training
society
that
works
with
other
levels
of
government
to
obtain
funding,
to
support
employment
and
training
programs.
K
There's
also
sort
of
recommendations
within
that
speak
to
opportunities
to
actually
bring
some
of
our
young
people,
or
just
some
of
our
people
into
employment
opportunities
within
the
city
as
a
part
of
their
own
sort
of
training
that
we
can
build
capacity
through
a
number
of
the
systems
that
the
city
has
available
to
it.
So
that's
sort
of
one
aspect
where
there's
a
larger
long-term
generational
need
to
engage
in
employment
and
training
and
education
of
Our
member
members
to
be
able
to
then
fill
and
occupy
these
roles.
K
The
other
piece
of
it,
though,
is
that
we
also
have
established
better
practices
and
procedures
around
capacity
funding
and
how
the
nations
are
able
to
respond
to
requests
for
involvement,
and
the
City
of
Vancouver
has
done
a
lot
of
really
good
work
over
the
last
couple
years
to
increase
its
processes
to
provide
what
we
call
capacity
funding.
So
when
we
look
at
things
like
the
Vancouver
plan
or
some
of
the
year
of
indigenous
language
initiatives,
there
are
areas
now
where
the
city
has
become
much
better
equipped
and
familiar
with
being
able
to
offer
capacity.
K
Funding
that
is
given
to
the
Nations
that
we
then
use
to
hire
either
our
own
staff
or
Consultants
or
community
members,
depending
on
the
project
to
be
involved
in
and
respond
to
those
things
so
I
think
that's
sort
of
where
the
next
step
of
this
work
is
to
really
think
about
both
priority
setting.
And
then
what
are
the
resources
that
are
going
to
be
need,
one
on
the
city
side
and
then
two
on
the
nation
side
to
be
able
to
sort
of
participate
further
in
a
number
of
these
things,
even
just
to
scope
them
out.
K
Like
some
of
these
things
will
take
time
to
imagine
what
does
it
actually
look
like,
for
example,
like
one
example
is
like
there's
a
recommendation
around
developing
a
protocol
between
the
city
and
the
Nations
around
major
events.
You
know
we've
seen
over
the
last
few
years
we've
been
able
to
work
together
really
effectively
on
things
like
the
2030
Olympic
bid
just
in
terms
of
process.
We
just
work
together,
but
what
we're
also
finding
is
it's
Invictus,
it's
FIFA,
it's
Olympics.
It's
who
knows
what
else
is
that
we're
being
very
reactive?
K
So
how
do
we
develop
a
protocol
that
we
know
if
the
opportunity
comes
up?
We
know
how
to
collaborate
and
also
that
when,
if
people
change,
the
process
will
remain
so
it's
things
like
that,
where
that's
just
going
to
take
time,
but
we
would,
the
nations
would
be
equipped
to
be
able
to
respond
to
what
they
think
capacity
needs
are
going
to
be
to
work
on
those
types
of
projects.
K
L
Thank
you
for
that
and
touching
on
something
that
councilor
dominato
was
sort
of
exploring
and
I
know.
This
is
forthcoming.
The
the
protocols
for
working
with
Urban
indigenous
populations
and
certainly
I,
live
in
Kim
kumule,
where
there
is
a
high
need,
Urban
indigenous
population.
L
K
K
Don't
think
we
have
the
final
answer
at
this
point,
but
I
think
that
we've
been
able
to
through
conversation
gain
a
bit
of
a
better
understanding
around
this
topic,
and
so
where
we
arrived
at
through
our
process
was
after
very
you
know,
lengthy
discussions,
even
amongst
yourselves
was
that
what
made
the
most
sense
to
us
at
this
time-
and
that
could
change-
is
that
if,
if
the
city
of
Vancouver
can
begin
its
formal
relationship
with
the
three
nations
and
then
through,
that
relationship
can
then
expand
it
outward
that
we
use
that
relationship
as
the
foundational
piece
and
some
of
the
teachings.
K
That
came
through
our
conversations
and
I'm
thinking
of
of
one
of
our
task
force.
Members
Howard
councilor
Howard
Grant,
where,
if
we
think
of
the
Nations,
as
we
have
all
these
guests
in
our
territory,
including
other
indigenous
people,
so
how
do
we
as
the
people
from
this
territory
host
or
welcome
these
guests
and
that
we
can
operate
as
a
government
government
level
than
reaching
out
to
our
relatives
from
other
nations?
K
There's
ongoing
conversations
with
organizations
like
mvac
and
their
relationship
that
they
can
develop
with
the
Nations.
The
report
speaks
to
providing
capacity
funding
for
the
Nations
to
further
develop
those
relationships,
but
we're
also
finding
is
that
the
nations
are
also
doing
more
work.
For
example,
near
come
come
alive
where
the
report
also
speaks
to.
K
Is
there
space
that
the
city
could
give
to
muskrum
Squamish
and
slavery
tooth
in
areas
like
the
downtown
east
side,
so
that
we
actually
have
areas
that
we
can
then
be
able
to
connect
with
our
members
who
are
living
down
there
and
what
we
found
you
know.
Just
from
my
squamish's
perspective,
we've
been
doing
a
lot
more
engagement
in
the
downtown
east
side,
but
we
don't
know
where
our
people
are.
So
what
we
do
is
we
just?
K
K
So
there's
a
bit
of
a
blanket
approach
that
allows
us
then
to
do
targeted
Outreach
to
our
specific
numbers,
but
like
that's
an
example
of
capacity
where,
if
we
could
actually
have
more
on-site
services
that
we're
connecting
with
our
people,
it
also
starts
to
provide
service
to
the
whole
sort
of
region.
K
So
I
think
it's
an
emerging
field,
but
it
was
something
that
we
didn't
know
at
the
beginning
of
this,
that
that's
how
we
would
recommend
approaching
it
and
I'm
putting
a
lot
of
caveats
into
it,
because
I
don't
want
it
to
be
seen,
as
we
were,
making
a
final
decision
in
this
regard
that
it's
it's
an
exploration
and
it's
a
learning
process,
because
we
don't
know,
what's
going
to
work
or
not
work,
and
we
don't
want
it
to
come
off.
As
we
have
all
the
answers.
It's
more.
K
B
Yeah
my
first
questions
on
early
action,
two
which
talks
about
the
host
Nations
atlas
book
and
in
the
report
it
talks
about
in
Van
play
and
the
part
board.
They
looked
at
inventory
of
culturally,
since
it
various-
and
you
talked
earlier
about
areas
for
foraging
and
fishing
and
restoring
Creeks.
B
So
can
you
talk
if
early
action
2
is
in
that
historical
atlas
book
is
looking
at
identifying
those
type
of
areas
so
that
we
can
showcase
where
the
historical
foraging
was
or
what
type
of
forest
or
creek
is
that
going
to
be
part
of
that?
Atlas
work
is
really
identifying
those
culturally
important
areas
and
historical,
shorelines
and
others
for
the
public
to
have
better
understanding.
K
Yes,
so
the
short
answer
is
yes,
and
no,
partly
because
there's
a
lot
of
consideration
around
protecting
sort
of
the
interests
of
the
Muslims
commission
slave
tooth
in
terms
of
cultural
heritage
and
knowledge,
and
wanting
like
there's
areas
where
we
do
want
it
to
be
known
publicly,
but
there's
also
areas
where
it
would
be
risky
for
us
to
declare
sort
of
publicly
certain
areas
that
have
some
of
those
values.
So
it
depends
on
the
cultural
knowledge
and
at
the
direction
of
each
of
the
Nations.
K
The
other
piece
there
is
that
the
three
nations
also
have
different
stories
and
different
cultural
heritage
and
different
protocols
around
how
they
want
that
information
treated.
Some
might
want
certain
things.
A
little
bit
kept
a
bit
more
private,
so
it
might
be
more
a
bit
more
public,
so
there
are
areas
that
I
think
are
going
to
be
recommended
included
that
are
part
of
that,
and
then
there
might
be
areas
where
it's
not
necessarily
intended
to
be
quite
public.
K
A
good
example
of
that
is
the
Nations
have
a
protocol
with
the
city
around
archaeological
Heritage
sites
that
are
found
through
processes
that
happened.
Park
Board
also
does
too
and
we're
often
reluctant
to
announce
to
the
world.
Oh,
we
found
a
major
archaeological
site
here,
because
the
risks
that
we've
seen
time
and
time
again
is
now
people
start
going
there
and
trying
to
find
things
so
there's
it
risks
that
the
other
piece
is
you
know
like
on
some
other
cultural
access
sites.
K
For
some
of
our
ceremonies
is
that
if
we
public
publicize
it,
then
people
start
coming
thinking
that
they
can
come
and
witness
or
participate
when
they're
intended
to
be
a
bit
more
of
a
private
practice
of
individual
families,
and
things
like
that.
So
there's
a
balance
that
needs
to
be
fought,
thought
of
and
the
hope
is
to
find
that
balance
through
that
work.
B
The
bit
will
be
brought
out,
the
rest
will
be
kind
of
for
the
Nations
for
the
work.
Okay,
that's
very
helpful.
My
second
question
is
recognizing.
The
budget
is
kind
of
the
biggest
thing
we
do
in
the
BC
assembly
of
First
Nations
is
brought
forward
the
centering
concepts
of
well-being
from
a
First
Nations
perspective.
Do
you
see
this
work,
starting
to
be
more
embedded
in
our
budget
process,
recognizing
that's
kind
of
the
biggest
thing
we
do
here
in
the
city
of
Vancouver,
and
how
do
you
see
that
into
a
relationship.
K
Yes,
the
budget
is
definitely
a
big
piece
of
where
a
lot
of
this
work
can
be
resourced
and
supported
and
I
think
our
hope
through.
This
is
there's
a
number
of
City
processes
that
are
new
to
the
Nations
or
not
familiar
to
the
Nations,
and
we
had
to
learn
as
well
as
representatives
of
the
Nations
around
How,
the
City,
Works
and
so
I.
Think
that
the
hope
is
that,
as
we
develop
some
of
these
processes,
the
Nations
become
more
involved.
K
We're
able
to
identify
where
we
would
also
like
to
be
more
involved,
because
it's
a
little
bit
outside
looking
in.
We
might
not
know
what
is
happening
inside
the
room
that
once
we're
in
there
that
we
can
start
looking
around
and
seeing
so
I
think
the
budget
is
going
to
be
a
place
where
it
would
be
really
important
to
put
at
least
the
initial
resources
for
that
first
year.
To
then
allow
us
to
do
the
action
plan
and
then
hopefully
our
I
think
our
goal
with
the
action
plan.
K
B
H
K
There
are
some
Clauses
and
I
think
if
I
remember
correctly
from
the
motion
that
was
approved
by
Council
around
the
Broadway
plan,
around
engaging
the
Nations
and
I.
Think
I
had
provided
some
comments
and
support
for
some
of
those
language,
so
I
think
that
there
are
areas
within
the
Broadway
plan
where
the
Nations
can
sort
of
weave
in.
K
But
it's
it's
definitely
one
of
those
cart
horse
things
where
we
have
to
start
somewhere-
and
this
is
it
just
happened
to
be
be
where
we're
at
at
this
point
in
time,
but
I
think
as
we
look
to
the
Future
there's
a
lot
of
other
work
to
be
done
by
the
city
on
other
areas
of
the
city
and
I
think
that
this
will
inform
a
lot
of
that
work
as
well.
It's
really
exciting.
Thank
you.
So
much.
D
Thanks
Merritt
I
just
wanted
to
do
one
follow-up
question
tying
into
housing,
but
also
noting
the
within
the
report
and
strategy.
The
focus
on
youth
on
elders,
persons
with
disabilities
did
the
task
force,
have
some
conversation
about
youth
in
care
and
youth
aging
out
of
care
and
how
collectively
we
can
play
a
role
through
the
strategy
to
support
those
youth.
D
One
of
the
areas
that
definitely
emerged
is
from
the
issue
of
Housing
and
affordability,
but
I'm
just
curious.
If
that
was
a
conversation,
and
if
you
see
that
being,
although
it's
not
directly
named.
K
I
I
would
say
that
there
was
a
lot
conversations
around
a
lot
of
core
need
areas
around
housing
and
and
and
kind
of
in
relation
to
that
too.
Also
just
the
limited
lands
available
to
some
of
the
Nations
because
of
sort
of
the
colonial
policies
around
how
reserves
were
allocated
at
the
time
so
due
to
the
limited
land
base,
there's
just
in
some
cases,
not
a
lot
of
land
to
actually
build
for
even
those
communities
on
themselves.
K
But
there's
also
work
that
the
nations
are
doing
around.
For
example,
youth
in
care.
There's
new
legislation
at
the
federal
level
that
affirms
the
rights
of
indigenous
people
around
developing
our
own
laws
around
Youth
and
care.
K
So
there's
a
number
of
First
Nations
that
have
developed
that
are
in
the
process
of
developing
that
that
actually
allows
for
Nations
to
Define
best
interest
of
the
child,
for
example,
and
actually
defining
that
through
a
first
name
nation's
lens
specific
to
that
nation
and
then
really
affirming
that
that
the
the
rights
to
manage
or
or
manage
the
jurisdiction
around
using
care
is
with
the
Nations.
And
that's
that's
new
federal
law.
K
There
are
changes
that
are
going
to
be
coming
to
provincial
law
to
align
with
the
federal
law
in
that
regard
too.
So
there's
a
lot
of
really
emerging
work
happening
there,
but
I
know
just
personally
privately
with
an
art.
My
Council
we've
talked
a
lot
about
housing
and
use
and
care,
and
the
need
to
that.
Those
are
so
critical
to
achieve
together
because
of
the
impacts
that
happen
when
there
isn't
affordable,
secure
housing
for
families
that
are
trying
to
reunify
or
use
aging
out
of
care,
and
things
like
that,
so.
D
Yeah,
that's
exactly
that
is
the
youth
aging
out
of
care
and
there's
a
lot
of
barriers
to
whether
it
be
housing,
employment,
so
I
appreciate
that
it
sounds
like,
even
though
it's
not
specifically
named
it.
That
certainly
would
be
encompassed
and
could
be
encompassed
within
this
body
of
work
as
we're
focusing
on
that
demographic
of
use
in
general,
so
in
children.
So
I
appreciate
that
and
thank
you.
That's
all
my
questions.
A
Thanks
consideration.
A
F
My
apologies,
I
was
on
mute
there
thanks
very
much.
The
first
question
that
I
have
I
suppose
should
probably
go
to
call
Salem
you
and
your
capacity
as
co-chair
of
the
committee
and
you
I'll.
Let
you
choose
if
you
pass
it
on
to
other
people
on
the
committee,
but
just
wondering
under
you
know,
on
page
11
under
foundational
calls
to
action.
This
has
come
up
a
few
times.
F
Action
item
number
two:
providing
ongoing
capacity
funding
for
musclam,
Squamish
and
salidwood
tooth
Nations
to
help
facilitate
relationship
building,
and
it
goes
on
and
talks
about
a
role
in
decision
making
I'm
wondering
if,
if
are
you
comfortable
with
the
fact
that
there's
not
an
amount
set
yet
for
that
in
the
2023
budget,
from
what
I
can
see?
Is
this
something
that
that
is
a
concern
that
we
don't
already
have
earmark
funding
moving
forward
for
this?
F
And
how
do
you
see
this
sort
of
moving
forward
to
make
sure
that
the
actions
Council
takes
today
actually
amount
into
that
funding
happening
in
the
next
budget
cycle
process,
which
is
only
a
few
months
away?.
K
No
I
really
appreciate
that
question.
Thank
you.
I
would
say
that
it
it
there's.
A
lot
of
the
last
few
months
have
been
busy
to
get
us
to
this
point
and
I
would
say
that's
a
topic
that
we
haven't
yet
had
a
fulsome
discussion
about,
but
it
is
something
that
I
think
coming
out
of
today.
Should
the
report
and
the
recommendations
be
adopted
by
Council.
K
Even
if
it's
just
enough
funding
to
support
the
first
phase
of
the
work
which
is
really
scoping
out,
the
implementation,
that's
I,
don't
think
going
to
be
the
bulk
of
where
the
capacity
funding
will
be
needed
overall,
but
there
will
be
I
think
a
need
for
some
capacity
funding
to
begin
that
work
coming.
You
know
through
January
to
December
of
next
year.
F
Okay,
thanks
very
much
that's
very
helpful
and
if
I
may
mayor
could
I
ask
a
question
of
Staff
sure
just
just
to
further
the
question
that
I
just
asked:
Jose
Alum
I'm
wondering:
where
would
staff
be
looking
to
fund
this
and
offer
capacity
funding
Council
moves
forward
with
us
today
which
I
I'm,
hoping
that
we
will
we're
in
the
2023
budget?
Would
you
be
looking
to
to
find
those
funds
or
have
you
already
possibly
found
places
you
could
earmark
those
funds
for
capacity
funding.
L
Thanks
counselor
as
Paul
Walker
here,
yeah
I
appreciate
the
question
so
yeah.
This
is
certainly
something
that
we're
alive
to
and
would
be
one
of
the
things
that
we
would
be
working
with
the
incoming
Council
on
as
we
put
together
the
2023
operating
budget.
So
it's
it's
definitely
one
of
the
the
things
that
we
would
be
looking
for.
L
F
Okay
thanks
and
then
just
a
further
question
on
that
is:
are
there
any
initial
amounts
that
have
been
discussed?
I
know
Cole
Salem
had
mentioned,
you
know,
funding,
possibly
the
first.
They
used
as
a
first
step
and
I'm
just
wondering.
Are
there
any
amounts
that
you
could
you
can
share
with
us
as
to
to
what
staff
would
currently
be?
Looking
at
your
marketing,
I
I
know
the
budget
gets
started
after
the
last
one
has
passed
so
I'm,
assuming
that
there
may
be
some
numbers
there
is.
Is
that
something
that
you
might
have
handy?
L
Thanks
counselor
Noah
at
this
stage,
we
we
don't
have
a
specific
number
I
think
we'll
be
looking
for
additional
guidance
on
that.
So
I
don't
have
a
specific
number
that
I
can
quote
you
at
this
point.
F
Okay,
thanks
very
much
also
just
wanted
to
ask
another
question:
if
I
may
and
my
apologies
mayor
if
I
go
over
time,
let
me
know
and
I'll
go
back
on
the
queue
for
a
second
round
like
I'm
having
some
technical
difficulties.
So
I
can't
pull
my
panel
up,
but
another
question
close
Salem
through
you
to
whoever
you
would
choose
on
the
task
force
to
answer
this
and
I've
been
honored
to
be
a
part
of
this
task
force,
but
going
Beyond.
F
Some
of
the
recommendations
here
to
include
you
know
members
of
the
three
nations
on
the
police
board
and
in
different
capacities.
Do
you
think
that
that
also
needs
to
be
a
part
of
our
city
of
Vancouver
advisory
committees
that
we
actually
have
designated
spaces
and
spots
for
each
of
the
Nations
if
they
choose
to
fill
those
spaces.
F
K
Thank
you
for
that
question
at
this
point.
I
would
say
potentially
maybe,
but
we
don't
know
yet.
The
only
consideration
that
I
would
offer
is
that
we
don't
fully
know
all
of
the
appointment
opportunities
that
the
city
of
Vancouver
has
and
there's
also
a
limited
number
of
Representatives
that
we
would
have
to
offer
so
I
think
it'll
also
come
down
to
a
prioritization
by
the
Nations
on
where
they
are
most
interested.
The
Vancouver,
Police
board
is
sort
of
was
one
identified
by
the
Nations
as
having
a
high
interest.
K
There's
others
as
well.
That
I
think
the
Nations
have
expressed
some
interest
in
so
I
think
it
would
come
to
part
of
the
implementation
as
I
would
say.
Yes
potentially,
but
it
also
depends
on.
Is
there
interest
by
the
Nations
and
being
involved
at
those
levels
as
well
and
it
could
be,
but
it
would
be
at
the
discretion
of
the
Nations
to
identify
that
in
the
coming
years,.
F
A
You
very
much
Council.
We
do
have
three
speakers,
that's
the
end
of
the
questions
from
Council.
We
do
have
three
speakers,
I'm
hoping
we
can
get
through
them
by
noon
or
just
slightly
after
the
first
speaker
is
Sarita
number
one
Sarita
it's
listed
as
in
person.
A
Foreign
yeah
I
think
just
just
coming
down
from
the
balcony.
A
So
we
have
three
speakers
Council
and
then
probably
break
for
lunch
and
then
come
back
for
debate
and
decision
after
no
that's
not
her.
Okay,
I,
don't
think
we
have
Sarita
here
so
I'm
going
to
move
the
speaker
number
two
is
Maria
musenden
by
phone.
A
There
please
go
ahead:
you're,
not
the
five
minutes.
F
Here
and
Council,
my
name
is
Maria
and
my
last
name
was
not
supposed
to
be
mentioned.
Anyways
I
have
been
a
resident
of
Vancouver
since
1963,
when
I
immigrated
to
Canada
as
a
child.
Since
then,
I've
been
a
resident
in
Vancouver
minus
for
nine
years,
I
lived
in
the
North
Shore
I
appreciate
the
work
I
have
been
put
into.
F
This
report
puts
forward
to
address
Canada's
responsibility
in
the
undripped
and,
at
the
same
time,
I
object
to
such
a
substantial
report
that
has
so
much
power
to
significantly
affect
the
lives
of
vancouverites
being
put
forth
to
council
for
a
vote
at
the
11th
Hour
I
question.
I
questioned
the
management
of
Vancouver
in
taking
this
11th
Hour
approach.
It
appears
the
city
of
Vancouver
is
denying
Vancouver
rights
their
Democratic
process
I
also
questioned
the
legality
of
it.
All
vancouverites
have
been
given
very
little
time
to
respond
to
this
report.
Where
are
the
voices
in
this?
F
Where
are
the
vancouverites
where
to
send
this?
The
aspect
of
this
report
regarding
co-governing
Vancouver
by
determining
how
Vancouver
is
developed
by
people
who
have
not
been
democratically
elected
by
the
Civil
Rights?
It's
disturbing
and
alarming
to
me:
are
we
a
democracy?
Vancouverites
are
already
burdened
with
many
costs
to
live
in
our
city.
The
sharing
of
our
precious
tax
dollars
with
others
than
vancouverites
without
our
state
seems
to
be
wrong,
and
it's,
oh
sorry,
and
it
is
wrong.
F
I
deserve.
Excuse
me,
I,
I,
believe
all
people
all
people
deserve
to
be
treated
with.
Dignity,
have
equal
opportunities
to
participate
in
our
society,
but
this
needs
to
be
done
in
the
Democratic
process
and
sorry,
I
am
not
a
very
good
public
speaker.
F
I
I
want
to
honor
our
Aboriginal
people
to
have
them
participate
in
our
society
early
to
share
as
a
whole.
F
I
understand
that
there
it's
unsuited
land,
where
we
can't
turn
back
the
clock
and
I
just
want
to
share
this
with
Council
I
heard
on
the
radio
yesterday
that
in
Manitoba
I
think
it
was
a
reserve,
a
town
I'm
not
sure,
had
to
declare
a
state
of
an
emergency
because,
through
young
people,
converting
suicides
and
attempted
suicide,
is
it
just
sends
me
so
much
our
Aboriginal
people
deserve
more
these
events
from
the
Democratic
process.
Thank
you.
Council,
oh
and
I.
F
Have
one
thing
to
say:
I,
don't
know
how
to
say
this
point
to
border
whatever
I
think
when
reports
are
put
out
the
when
they
are
put
out
published
needs
to
be
dated
on
the
report
just
know
when
the
report.
A
Thanks
so
much
I,
don't
see
any
thanks.
I,
don't
see
any
questions
for
you!
Sorry
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
the
next
speaker.
But
thanks
for
calling
in
today
Council
we
have
Robin
tavender
Robin
tavender,
speaker
number
three
yeah
yeah
hi.
There
please
go
ahead.
Could
you.
M
The
nation
sovereign
good
day,
my
name,
is
Robin
and
I
come
from
the
standing
water
Nation.
The
standing
water
nation
is
a
sovereign
indigenous
Nation
I'm,
calling
you
from
one
of
our
houses
in
Vancouver
within
our
traditional
territory.
I
have
sent
a
report
to
the
city
and
I
hope
the
Marin
Council
have
it
on
their
screens.
Marin
Council
should
have
a
35-page
report
from
the
nation
briefly
to
counselor
Hardwick
in
delgamuk.
The
Supreme
Court
of
Canada
has
said.
M
M
Here
is
how
we
have
described
the
nation
to
the
provincial
government.
Now
last
year,
Mr
Coleman
asked
me
about
our
traditional
territory.
We
didn't
have
a
box.
We
lived
in,
we
lived
in
one
place,
then
moved
to
another.
Our
nation
was
nomadic.
We
didn't
necessarily
settle
until
the
crown
system
of
land
ten
years
was
introduced
and
settlement
became
a
necessity.
M
We
camped
hunted
fish,
built
fires
and
built
structures
wherever
we
went.
If
someone
opposed
us
that
was
an
act
of
War,
we
didn't
have
any
tradition
of
going
into
someone
else's
camp
and
taking
over
their
fire.
We
built
our
own
according
to
our
ancient
oral
law.
We
have
never
concluded
any
treaty
with
the
crown
we
have
not
seated
our
ancestor
right
to
hunt
to
camp
and
to
fish
in
our
traditional
territory.
M
We
have
not
ceded
the
right
to
take
Timber
to
build
fires
into
erect
structures,
both
physical
and
conceptual,
including
Corporation,
soul
and
aggregate,
especially
universities
and
Indigenous
degree
granting
institutions
of
higher
education.
We
have
not
ceded
the
right
to
use
waters,
plants
and
minerals
as
a
sovereign,
indigenous
Nation.
We
have
the
right
to
self-government.
M
Many
nations,
including
the
British
and
the
United
States
of
America,
have
Drawn
Lines
all
over
the
maps
of
our
traditional
territory,
which
includes
without
limitation,
the
continent
of
North
America
and
its
adjacent
Waters.
These
statements
were
made
to
the
province's
finance
committee
in
2020
and
2021,
and
they
are
in
the
appendices
to
our
report
from
this.
M
We
note
that
the
city
of
Vancouver
is
also
within
our
traditional
territory
at
the
outset,
we're
out
and
sure
how
the
city
of
Vancouver
has
any
capacity
to
make
findings
as
to
title
the
rights
City
of
Vancouver
is
a
statutory
Corporation
and
right
of
his
Majesty's
province
of
British
Columbia.
It
is
also,
in
addition
to
a
question
of
law,
a
question
of
metaphysics
and
epistemology.
Our
oral
tradition
is
that
we
live
in
space.
It
is
also
our
tradition
that
the
space
is
full
of
light
even
at
night.
We
know
the
light.
M
Is
there
because
we
have
anciently
understood
that
during
the
day
the
sun
puts
light
into
the
Earth
that
remains
there
during
the
night.
As
said
in
the
report,
we
identify
more
with
water
and
we
have
always
flowed
through
space,
but
we
are
also
mindful
of
colonial
language
and
the
need
to
put
things
into
boxes,
so
they
can
be
traded
for
money.
We
don't
have
any
treaty
with
the
crown,
the
musculum,
Squamish
or
slave
tooth
as
covered
in
the
report.
M
This
new
agreement
as
to
what
the
word
law
means:
dangerous,
Gaius,
every
people
governed
by
statutes
and
Customs
are
partly
peculiar
to
itself
partly
common
to
all
mankind.
The
rules
established
by
a
given
state
for
its
own
members
are
peculiar
to
itself
and
are
called
civil
law.
The
rules
constituted
by
natural
reason
for
all
are
observed
by
All
Nations
alike
and
are
called
just
gentium.
Another
view
is
that
all
laws
are
treaties
or
agreements
and
imposing
law
by
force
is
an
act
of
War
if
indigenous
peoples
or
Sovereign
peoples
undrip,
is
irrelevant.
M
They
are
subject
of
international
law
and
have
all
of
the
powers
customarily
enjoyed
by
Sovereign
Nations.
The
only
difference
is
that
they
are
under
military
occupation
by
United
Nations
member
states
and
United
Nations,
Nationals,
practically
For,
Better
or
For.
Worse,
all
of
us,
mostly
in
Squamish
slay,
with
tooth
standing,
water,
metis
crown
and
subjects
of
the
crown
we
are
all
thrown
together
in
this
land.
We
remind
the
city
that
they
are
not
his
majesty
the
king's
Supreme
Court,
and
have
no
capacity
to
settle
questions
of
write
her
title
from
their
own
point
of
view.
M
It
is,
in
some
sense
prejudicial
for
the
city
to
out
of
its
own
head,
determine
who
are
the
right
and
title
holders.
If
there
is
no
universal
law,
then
any
attempt
to
impose
any
system
of
law,
including
assertions
of
right
and
title,
could
be
construed
as
an
act
of
warfare,
a
psychological
operation.
M
A
Thanks
very
much
councilweave
up
to
three
minutes
questions
for
you,
speaker,
I,.
B
A
Our
amendments
that
have
been
circulated
so.
A
You
do
have
a
question
just
one.
Second,
pardon
me
just
one
second,
okay,
all
in
favor
and
extending
past
noon
to
Vision
this
business
say
yay
any
opposed
it
opposed
clerks.
Could
you
record
a
counselor
Hardwick
as
a
post,
thanks
very
much
counselor
Hardwick
you're
up
for
questions
to
this
speaker
up
to
three
minutes.
C
Okay,
yes
question
to
the
speaker.
So
what
are
your
recommendations
based
on
this
report?
Given
your
philosophical
perspective,.
M
One
is
that
there
are
natural
rights.
That
is,
this
is
what
the
Roman
Gaia
says.
The
other
is
that
all
rights
are
Agreements
are
treaties
and
there's
no
precondition
on
any
two
Sovereign
Nations
to
have
a
treaty
they
can
fight
about
it,
which
I
don't
agree
with
our
nation
is
specific
we'd
rather
flee
than
fight
or
be
taken
prisoner
in
war,
which
you'll
find
in
the
appendices
to
our
report.
M
I
would
say
that
more
dialogue
is
always
better
and
that's
always
a
problem,
because
limiting
the
participation
in
dialogue
means
it
goes
more
smoothly,
especially
if
everybody
has
sort
of
a
Unity
of
interest.
But
as
soon
as
you
involve
more
people,
there
can
be
a
disunity
of
interest
and
there
could
even
be,
as
in
the
report,
I
submitted
irreconcilable
views
concerning
Land,
Title
and
other
matters.
So
I
guess,
if
you
could
ask
a
more
specific
question,
I
might
be
able
to
give
more
specific
advice.
M
I
would
say
this
report
is
premature,
especially
the
point
you
pointed
in
with
greatest
of
respect
in
terms
of
the
Crown's
jurisprudence.
Aboriginal
title
is
a
burden
on
underlying
crown
title.
It's
often
said
that
Aboriginal
title
is
the
primordial
title,
but
I
don't
believe
the
Supreme
Court
of
Canada
has
ever
said
that.
C
Well,
I
agree
with
you
in
the
in
the
complexity.
You
know:
we've
got
115
square
kilometers
and
roughly
680
000
people
residing
within
the
boundaries
of
of
this
legal
entity
and
what
is
being
suggested
that
roughly
two
percent
of
that
population
is
treated
differently
than
the
balance
through
each
level
of
government.
So
I
I
struggle
with
the
overarching
lack
of
of
consultation
with
all
involved.
It
seems
very
limited
and
if
we
are
to
look
at
special
treatment,
how
do
we
Define
that?
M
A
M
There's
no
agreement
as
to
what
indigenous
peoples
mean
in
international
law.
It's
a
greatly
contested
issue
and
self-identification,
and
some
attachment
to
the
territory
claimed
or
sort
of
the
broad
consensus,
but
using
Crown
Law
to
Define
who's,
an
indigenous
person
and
then
sort
of
selecting
a
two
percent
population.
I
would
agree
with
you.
Councilor
Hardwick,
if
you
were
to
say
that's
undemocratic.
If
democracy
is
a
value
to
be
adhered
to,
that's
definitely
on
Democrat.
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
That's
it
for
speakers.
We
have
I'll
just
call
Sarita
one
more
time.
A
Let's
see
Sarita
and
the
other
two
speakers
have
spoken
so
could
I
have
move
it.
Councilor
Boyle
move
heard
councilor
Carr.
Second,
thank
you
so
much.
We
are
on
the
queue
now,
if
you'd
like
to
speak
to
this
item,
answer
blah
you're
up
up
to
five
minutes.
E
Thanks
very
much
mayor,
I'm,
happy
to
before
I
speak
to
this
report.
Actually,
I
have
a
an
amendment
that
I'd
like
Council
to
consider.
E
Thanks
very
much
so
yeah
I
mean
I
I
just
want
to
sort
of
speak
high
level
to
the
work
that
we've
heard
today
from
the
task
force
co-taired
by
casselim
and
councilor,
Boyle
and
I
know
we're
right
up
against
lunch
here.
So
I
think
I'm
just
going
to
sort
of
jump
to
it
that
it's
it's.
You
know,
I
find
the
work
that
we've
heard
about
today.
E
The
municipal
implementation
of
undrip
is
an
essential
pillar,
a
step
towards
the
city's
efforts
in
terms
of
reconciliation
and
as
an
incoming
as
an
incumbent
and
moving
forward
into
the
next
Council
term.
I
felt
it
was
important
to
ensure
that
this
work
has
a
pathway
to
continue
and
I.
Think
what
we've
witnessed
today
is
the
high
workability
of
the
undripped
task
force,
as
constituted
in
this
past
term,
and
I
would
like
to
see
that
continue.
E
The
motion
before
us
that
I'd
like
to
add
to
this
report
states
that
further
that
Council
requests
the
incoming
Council
continue.
The
intergovernmental
group
comprised
of
the
musqueam
Indian
band,
Squamish,
nation
and
slave
with
tooth
Nation
representatives
and
four
Representatives
appointed
by
Council
for
a
minimum
of
six
months,
with
the
purpose
of
working
with
staff
to
develop
the
long-term
intergovernmental
process
for
next
steps
on
implementing
implementing
the
city
of
Vancouver's
undripped
strategy
and
I.
E
Just
note
that
one
of
the
recommendations
coming
out
of
this
report
is
that
intergovernmental
group
committee,
which
will
largely
be
comprised
of
staff
and
so
I,
think
what
this
creates
is
a
sort
of
open
line
of
communication
to
support
staff
in
continuing
on
that
work
and
also
bringing
that
work
back
to
Council
in
a
good
way.
So
I'd
like
to
ask
Council
to
consider
this
amendment
to
the
report.
Second,.
A
It's
already
been
executed
by
a
counselor
Carr,
so
thanks
excited
counselor,
Bly
yeah,
yes,
Mr
Kirby
young.
To
this
amendment.
I
Yeah
I
would
just
say
quickly
that
I
think
that
we
heard
how
important
the
establishment,
the
relationship
was
and
I
think
this
contemplates
an
ongoing
role
for
for
Laurel
for
council
members
in
this
important
process
towards
next
steps,
whereas
previously
I
think
that
was
a
gap
in
the
report
as
councilor
Bly
spoke
to
with
kind
of
moving
this
to
staff
at
this
sort
of
early
juncture
and
I
still
think,
there's
a
lot
of
shaping
to
be
done
so
I'm
very
happy
to
support
it.
Thank
you.
F
A
E
I'll
just
make
some
very
brief
final
comments,
and
you
know
this
is
this
is
very
important.
Work
and
and
I
understand
that
there
may
be
questions
or
concerns
around
the
timing
of
this,
but
I
actually
feel
like
as
we
move
forward
into
this
next
term
and
I
that
this.
This
actually
is
part
of
that
bridge.
Building
between
this
past
term
and
the
incoming
term,
and
so
I
I
think
the
the
contents
of
this
report.
The
work
that's
been
done
this
thus
far.
E
This
is
actually
a
really
important
moment
to
to
underscore
how
important
it
is
that
we
do
move
forward.
So
this
report
I
think
marks
the
culmination
of
the
first
phase
of
the
work
of
the
undrip
task
force
and
that's
why
that
Amendment
came
forward.
I
moved
that
amendment
to
consider
to
ensure
that
it
continues
and
to
build
on
the
initial
early
actions
that
the
city
has
taken
into
a
sustainable,
long-term
implementation
that
we
discussed
this
morning.
E
So
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
historic
nature
of
this
document
being
put
forth
today,
and
this
in
itself
is
another
important
step
of
many
steps
on
the
path
to
reconciliation.
It
was
my
honor
to
receive
this
report
at
the
ceremony
last
Wednesday
that
was
mentioned
this
morning
by
kelseylim
and
others
on
behalf
of
the
incoming
Council,
and
so
that
was
really
a
moment
to
be
celebrated
and
also
acknowledged
in
terms
of
the
ceremony
that
we've
talked
about
today.
E
E
Council
can
reaffirm
its
commitment,
both
during
this
term
and
into
the
future
for
sustainable
and
comprehensive
measures
towards
reconciliation
that
is
founded
on
collaboration
with
the
leadership
by
the
muskrum
Indian
men,
Squamish,
nation
and
slavery
tooth
nation
and
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
duty
that
we
have
to
each
other
to
continue
this
work,
so
I'll
leave
it
there
and
just
to
say.
Thank
you
very
much
to
all
of
those
who
have
worked
incredibly
hard
on
the
task
force
to
bring
this
forward
to
council.
C
C
We
have
here
a
report
of
constitutional
significance
and
I'm
concerned,
though,
that
it
was
produced
by
a
highly
selected
group
drafted
in
internally
and
without
public
discussion
and
I
can
remain
concerned
about
the
democratic
practices
part
of
this,
because
the
process
was
closed
and
I'm
concerned
the
output
suffers.
It
recommends
layers
of
special
treatment
without
transparency
and
special
treatment
on
the
basis
of
need
is
right
and
proper
in
our
society
and
there's
a
long
lineup
of
where
the
causes
of
which
we
wrestle
with
every
day.
C
C
Yet
what
we
have
here
is
is
nothing
less
than
a
change
in
governance
system
of
Vancouver
to
discriminate
in
certainly
in
some
ways
it
will
enrich
some
of
the
wealthiest
landowners
of
Vancouver.
It
needs
to
be
looked
at
legality
under
Section
161
of
the
Vancouver
Charter,
it's
democratically
wrong.
A
giving
special
special
influence
to
a
small
group
and
I'm
concerned
that
it's
morally
wrong
in
terms
of
Human
Rights.
C
C
I
think
we
need
to
return
to
the
drawing
board
in
a
public
and
transparent
way
in
the
way
that
we
move
forward
with
our
discussions
around
reconciliation,
as
one
of
the
callers
did
point
out.
People
are
hearing
about
this
at
the
last
minute.
The
last
council
meeting
with
little
opportunity
to
participate
in
a
public
and
Democratic
dialogue,
so
in
in
closing
I
would
request
that
this
this
motion
be
severed.
C
B
To
thank
everybody
that
helped
work
on
this,
especially
folks
from
MST.
I,
really
learned
a
huge
amount
I'm,
so
glad
I
was
able
to
be
one
of
the
members
of
the
undrip
committee.
B
I,
really
hope
the
new
council
is
going
to
fund
this
we're
getting
good
indications
here
today
and
I
also
hope
we
can
move
on
to
implementing
undrip
for
urban
indigenous
folks,
which
I
know
this
is
talking
about
beginning
that
process.
I
hope
we
can
speed
that
up.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
folks
at
MST
for
helping
me
learn
a
lot.
B
You
have
such
eloquent
spokespeople
that
was
really
powerful,
Cole
Salem.
To
think
that
that
ceremony,
that
we
were
in
last
week
would
have
been
illegal
at
a
different
time
to
to
actually
conceive
that
that
innocent
and
Powerful
ceremony
could
be
illegal,
is
pretty
bad
and
I
also
liked
the
idea
that
this
can
be
of
mutual
benefit
to
everyone
in
the
city.
B
I
think
it's
really
good
that
we're
pushing
that
MST
has
great,
very
eloquent
spokespeople
I'm,
so
glad
to
be
able
to
learn
for
you
and
I
support.
The
report.
H
I,
thank
you
mayor.
So
my
first
thanks
go
to
the
members
of
the
task
force.
I
just
want
to
appreciate
every
single
member
of
the
task
force
for
coming
to
the
table
with
such
Open
Hearts
and
Minds,
a
willingness
to
teach
and
to
learn
a
dedication
to
collaboration
and
a
willingness
to
trust
each
other
and
how
this
will
unfold.
H
I
really
also
want
to
appreciate
the
staff
and
the
technical
tables
such
incredibly
good
work.
I
mean
you
really
enabled
us
at
the
Task
Force
Level
to
be
able
to
do
our
work
because
your
work
was
so
professional,
so
competent,
so
timely,
and
you
really
helped
I
also
want
to
give
thanks
to
the
ceremony
last
week,
like
kelster
Swanson,
Hill
Salem.
Thank
you
for
reminding
us
that
that
would
have
been
illegal
in
a
past
period
of
this
province.
H
That
was
a
powerful
reminder,
because
that
ceremony
was
so
incredibly
beautiful
and
important,
and
so
instructional
I
thank
everybody
there
who
helped
us
who
were
not
familiar
with
that
ceremony
to
understand
why
each
step
of
the
ceremony
proceeded
as
it
did,
the
reasoning
behind
it,
the
tradition
behind
it.
H
I
H
Really
really
significant,
it's
significant
in
my
mind,
because
it
is
absolutely
grounded
in
federal
and
provincial
adoptions
of
andrep,
so
we
we
are
not
standing
alone
on
this.
There
is
precedence,
that's
happened
and
the
province
itself
has
developed
an
action
plan
dripa
that
we
took
learnings
from
and
in
providing
some
of
the
some
of
the
points
within
our
document.
H
I'm
really
proud
that
Vancouver,
my
understanding
is,
will
be
the
first
city
in
Canada,
and
maybe
it's
a
global
first
too,
to
actually
implement
the
Declaration
of
the
U.N
Declaration
of
the
rights
of
indigenous
peoples
and
just
to
ground
us.
It
will
be
a
work
in
progress.
H
H
Continuing
the
open
minds
and
Open
Hearts
of
understanding,
learning,
teaching
and
and
making
decisions
is,
is
absolutely
critical
and
to
me
it's
like
I've
learned
it's
about
the
commitment
to
paddle
together
we're
in
this
canoe
I
was
always
a
kayaker,
so
it's
a
little
a
single
kayak
but
I'm
really
into
the
canoe
now
that
paddling
together,
because
it
is
teamwork,
that's
going
to
get
us
forward
is
it's.
You
know,
people
drumming
and
keeping
us
on
on
in
Rhythm,
but
it
is.
H
It
is
absolutely
teamwork
and
I
believe
we
all
share
the
same
goal,
which
is
a
more
fair,
a
more
Equitable,
a
more
just
and
a
more
healthy
and
prosperous
Vancouver.
A
Thank
you,
Council
Caribbean,.
I
Yeah
thanks
mayor
and
thanks
to
everybody
that
participated
in
the
work
and
on
the
task
force
from
the
Nations
and
from
Council
I
know
councilor,
Boyle
and
cancer,
and
others
have
mentioned
how
impactful
that
ceremony
was
and
I
was
really
sad
to
miss
it.
Last
week,
I
was
flat
out
in
bed,
as
you
can
probably
hear.
I
have
the
residual
part
of
a
cold
so
respecting
everybody.
I
I
had
to
stay
home,
but
I
did
have
the
privilege
when
I
was
on
the
Park
Board
serving
from
2014
to
2015
or
2018
I
think
it
was
in
2015
that
the
part
board
was
the
first
Municipal
entity
to
adopt
the
TRC
calls
to
action
and
specifically
I
think
there
were
about
three
dozen
or
so
that
were
through
some
work.
That
was
done
at
that
time
deemed
to
be
most
important
to
the
work
of
that
body,
and
that
was
a
really
meaningful
moment,
and
so
it's
a
privilege.
I
Sorry,
excuse
me:
it's
a
privilege
to
be
able
to
participate
in
this
moment
as
well
and
I
always
look
at
them
as
being
markers
along
a
journey,
because
people
talk
a
lot
about
a
destination
but
you're,
never
really
there
right.
I
It's
sort
of
a
constant
ongoing
agreement
to
travel
together
and
I
think
that's
probably
something
that
really
stands
out
for
me
in
listening
to
the
conversation
around
the
table
and
a
couple
of
speakers
I
think
I
would
be
really
remiss
in
not
saying
that
some
of
the
questions
asked
or
the
views
expressed
actually
reflect
how
important
this
work
is
still
and
I
asked
that
question
about
learning
and
unlearning,
because
you
know
to
comments
around
this
is
last
minute
or
there
hasn't
been
an
opportunity
to
weigh
in
this
should
not
be
a
surprise.
I
City
of
Vancouver
has
been
on
this
journey
for
some
time
years.
Actually,
and
the
need
to
do
this.
Work
has
existed
for
a
countless
period
of
time
prior
to
that,
and
so
I
think
it's
really
important
that
this
is
a
continuation.
It
is
not
something
that
came
out
of
left
field.
This
was
a
deeply
held
commitment
that,
as
I
think
it
was
Dennis
from
soil.
I
Ii
said,
has
sustained
through
different
elected
bodies
of
perhaps
different
political
stripes
or
different
backgrounds,
and
yet
the
commitment
has
remained
and
the
commitment
will
continue
and
I
I'm,
confident
that
the
next
council
is
going
to
remain
supportive
of
that.
I'm
also
glad
to
see
some
specific
references
and
alignment
on
some
of
the
strategies
that
I
think
the
new
Council
signal.
They
intend
to
take
whether
it's
on
car
87,
the
importance
of
mental
health
response
and
identifying
sort
of
very
specific
needs
in
challenging
situations
like
that.
I
The
importance
of
education
and
I
think
also
the
if
I
can
say
it
the
more
fun
and
celebratory
opportunities
through
public
art
right
through
storytelling,
whether
that's
through
our
institutions,
libraries,
probably
art
programs
and
others.
So
I'm
really
grateful
for
the
chance
to
participate
in
the
work.
I
learned
something
each
time
we
have
these
conversations
and
I'm
grateful
to
be
part
of
it.
Thank
you.
D
D
I'd
like
to
start
by
reflecting
back
that
when
people
ask
the
question
about
well,
why
is
this
important?
D
We
need
to
reflect
back
that
because
we
have
an
obligation
and
a
responsibility
to
right
the
wrongs
of
the
past,
and
there
are
many
wrongs
and
I
often
reflect
back
on
how
little
I
knew
growing
up,
how
little
I
learned
in
our
education
system
and
I
went
through
the
public
school
system
like
many
people
around
this
table,
and
that
I
had
no
knowledge
of
the
60s
scoop
or
a
mere
mention
of
residential
schools,
and
really
had
no
understanding
of
what
that
meant
for
children
and
for
families,
and
that
there
was
racism.
D
But
I
didn't
understand
as
a
child.
Why
people
were
making
certain
comments
and
references,
I
had
no
knowledge,
and-
and
so
we
have
an
obligation
at
all
levels
of
government
at
the
city
and
Civic
level
at
the
provincial
level.
D
At
the
federal
level
and
and
I
I
appreciate
it
as
I
looked
at
the
calls
to
action
that
in
the
first
two
themes
being
focused
on
social,
cultural,
economic
well-being
and
ending
racism,
because
much
of
social
cultural
practices
was
lost
because
of
things
that
were
implemented
by
governments,
the
residential
schools
and
so
on
and
and
I
heard
at
the
ceremony
last
week.
Very
clearly,
as
it
was
reflected
that
this
is
like
the
first
words
on
the
first
page
of
the
first
chapter
of
a
book.
D
We
are
at
the
beginning
of
a
discourse
and
a
dialogue,
but
we're
at
the
beginnings
of
a
relationship
and
relationships
take
work.
But
it
involves
authentic
dialogue.
And
what
I
see
reflected
in
this
strategy
is
that
there
are
a
number
of
pieces
of
areas
of
work
that
we
are
going
to
strive
for.
We
are
going
to
work
together.
Other
on
is
going
to
pave
a
new
way
forward
and
and
and
I
hope
that
it
not
only
brings
hope.
D
But
it
brings
change
and
I
think
that's
where
we
need
to
go,
and
it's
not
going
to
be
easy.
But
I
think
if
we
all
engage
and
come
in
authentically
and
come
to
the
table
and
engage
in
that
discourse
and
identify
opportunities
to
collaborate
and
work
together,
we
can
get
there
so
I
wholeheartedly
support
this
strategy.
I
know,
there's
angst
out
there,
people
don't
fully
understand,
but
people
are
anxious
when
there's
change
and
life
is
full
and
thought
of
change.
A
Thanks
counselor
fry
I
have
a
little
something
to
say.
If
you
take
the
chair
and.
F
A
To
you
mayor
thanks
very
much
just
thinking
about
what
we're
doing
here
today
and
as
a
body
we're
the
city
of
Vancouver
is
actually
just
a
structure
of
a
statue,
but
yet
we
are
have
been
engaged
with
three
Sovereign
bodies:
musculine
squamishness
label
tooth
and
I.
Think
that
that
relationship
is
really
important.
To
acknowledge
is
that
we
at
the
city
are
the
inferior
body
in
terms
of
authority
on
this
land.
We
are
elected
by
local
residents,
citizens,
but
we're
all.
A
We
only
exist
because
at
the
pleasure
of
the
crown,
but
that's
not
the
case
with
three
host
nations
in
these
territories
and
I-
think
that's
what's
real,
so
I
feel
in
some
ways
fraudulent
standing
on
the
raised,
Podium
speaking
to
Nations
or
on
the
other
side
of
the
glass,
because
it
actually
is
in
my
mind.
The
other
way
around
is
that
you
are
inviting
us
to
to
work
within
our
limited
Authority,
as
seated
as
as
delegated
by
the
crown
as
to
how
these
lands
should
be
governed
and
I.
I.
A
Think
that's
something.
That's
not
always
understood.
I
think
that
that
is
something
that
should
be
a
core
part
of
future
work
is
to
let
residents
and
citizens
know
exactly
what
the
relationship
is
and
and
then
the
other
thing
that
I
reflect
on
is
how
cities,
municipalities
often
have
to
lead
senior
levels
of
government,
because
we're
on
the
ground
all
the
time
and
we're
the
we're
the
we're
talking
to
people
every
day
where,
as
my
time
in
Ottawa
showed
very
often
it's
a
very
theoretical
and
removed
place.
A
So
in
combination,
though
I
do
think
that
this
this
work
is
showing
a
way
ahead
and
I
and
I
do
at
the
beginning
of
every
council
meeting
I
I
thank
the
three
host
Nations
for
their
generosity,
but
I
also
mean
that
too.
In
these
circumstances,
with
with
this
document
and
this
process,
is
that
it
is
the
generosity
of
the
Nations
that
have
that
facilitate
these
discussions.
A
So
I
do
want
to
thank
Mexican
squamous
slave
with
you,
so
much
for
what
I
can
only
explain
and
understand,
as
just
an
infinite
patience
with
with
us
with
the
colonizers,
essentially
as
we
seek
to
understand
how
we
fit
into
this
whole.
This
this
whole
Arrangement
and
how
we
can
work
together
to
make
things
right,
and
so
that's
what
I
see
this
document
as
and
it
looks
like
a
further
process
continued
by
the
x-council-
is
doing
and
just
wanted
to
thank
everybody
for
their
participation.
A
But
I
think
this
is
the
most
important
work
we
do,
because,
when
I
talk
to
to
others
in
governing
positions,
they
don't
actually
understand
what's
going
on
here
and
how
how
much
this
leads
the
rest
of
the
country
in
terms
of
of
how
we're
going
to
move
forward
with
reconciliation
in
Canada.
So
thank
you
again
for
for
all
your
efforts
for
everybody
and
thank
you
for
your
continued
work
in
this
and
I.
A
Also,
although
this
is
my
last
day
in
this
chair,
I'm
happy
to
to
help
whatever
I
can
to
to
move
this
ahead
in
the
future.
So
so,
thank
you.
Take
it
back.
Cancer
weep
up
to
five
yeah.
B
D
B
It
is
that
relationship
between
the
electeds
at
all
three
and
so
that
government
to
government
and
how
powerful
we
can
be
when
we
work
together.
I'm
excited
it's
an
exciting
document
and
if
we're
working
collaboratively
together,
the
mutual
benefits
for
plants,
animals,
the
people,
the
well-being,
there's
no
limit,
and
so
I'm
just
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone.
This
document
is
just
such
an
exciting
document
of
what
we
could
do
together
and
we
fight
so
much
and
through
this
campaign,
there's
so
much
fight
and
anger.
But
this
document
is.
F
B
F
B
F
Five
thanks
very
much
Chad
I
just
wanted
to
start
by
saying
that
I'm
greatly
honored
to
have
served
on
the
committee
as
a
member
of
the
task
force
and
I
want
to
thank
all
of
my
fellow
task
force
members,
and
especially
those
from
musqueam
Squamish
and
slavery.
Two
Nations
and
I
also
want
to
thank
staff
and
the
city
staff,
but
also
a
staff
that
came
to
help
on
the
technical
committee
from
the
Nations
and
everyone
who
was
on
our
technical
committee,
who
worked
with
us
to
bring
these
recommendations
forward.
F
Vancouver
is
a
city
of
reconciliation.
We
all
know
that,
however,
I
think
to
continue
being
a
city
of
reconciliation.
We
have
to
continue
this
work
and
I've
said
this
many
times
we
need
to
do
more
than
just
say
we're
a
city
of
reconciliation,
and
this
is
a
continuation
of
the
work
that
we've
committed
to
the
foundational
calls
to
action.
F
The
themes
and
the
steps
forward
in
this
report
reinforce
our
commitment
to
being
a
city
of
reconciliation,
and
that's
it's
important
to
me
personally,
but
I
think
that
it's
important
not
only
to
the
next
Council
but
to
the
future
of
our
city.
Well,
I,
fully
support
these
recommendations.
I
think
they
only
succeed
if
we
Implement
these
recommendations
in
a
way
it
creates
awareness
and
engages
the
public
in
moving
forward
with
this
outside
the
walls
of
City,
Hall
and
I'm
hopeful.
F
You
know
and
I
think
counselor
Reeb
has
just
has
just
touched
on
some
of
those
pieces
that
I
I
was
going
to
note
later
on
in
my
in
my
closing
here,
but
I
think
that
it
is
really
important
that
this
isn't
something
that
just
stays
with
us
at
Council
or
is
a
document
that
we
look
to
for
guidance
that
we
make
sure
that
this
is
out
there
and
that
we're
engaging
the
public
and
the
work
that
we're
doing
and
while
I
fully
do
support
these
recommendations.
I
have
concerns
and
I
brought.
F
These
concerns
up
at
many
of
the
task
force,
meetings
and
I,
bring
them
up
again
today
and
they're
about
funding
and
actions
speak
louder
than
words
and
ongoing
funding
has
not
yet
been
earmarked,
and
that
is
a
concern
of
mine
and
I
certainly
am
hopeful.
The
capacity
funding
will
be
appropriately
funded
in
future
budgets
for
this,
because
I
think
this
work
is
not
only
important,
it's
essential
and
integral
to
not
only
us
moving
forward
as
the
city
of
reconciliation
to
the
city
of
Vancouver
as
a
whole.
F
Again,
it's
been
a
a
huge
honor
to
be
a
part
of
this
task
force
and
thanks
to
all
of
the
other
members
and
staff
who
have
helped
us
to
get
here
today.
Thank
you.
B
Just
won
Lillian
Howard
I,
just
felt
ancestors
that
are
behind
us
on
this
report
are
very
powerful
and
I
think
you
feel
it
in
the
room
and
so
be
permits
not
to
speak
about
how
many
people
were
standing
on
their
shoulders
to
make
this
happen.
So
so,
thanks
to
all
of
them
and
what
they've
done.
M
A
That's
it
for
the
the
debate,
so
I'll
move
this
to
a
vote.
A
Advance
so
just
gonna
wait
for
the
clerks
to
pull
that
up.
So
we
can
see
here.
A
The
just
at
the
amendments
at
the
end,
so
how
many
votes
is
that
one
two
three,
four:
five:
six
votes:
okay!
So
we'll
start
with
the
first
vote,
which
is
highlighted
in
blue.
A
A
A
Supply
there
that
passes
unanimously.
Thank
you
so
much
everyone
that
has
past
and
congratulations
to
the
committee
for
all
their
work.
Council.
It
is
at
12
25.
We
will
take
the
full
hour
for
lunch
and
go
in
at
125
in
camera.
A
A
A
A
Hey
thanks
I
guess
the
speaker
is
not
here.
So
would
someone
like
to
move
this
motion
then
sorry,
thanks.
A
A
I,
don't
see
anybody
there
just
try
an
oral
vote.
First,
all
in
favor
yay
any
opposed
great,
that's
unanimous
thanks!
So
much
okay,
we
had
a
number
of
reports
that
were
held.
We
have
the
contract
to
award
a
tender
to
the
north
Loops
conference,
configuration
reconfiguration
held
by
councilor
Kirby
Young.
F
A
A
If
you
have
questions
for
staff
or
just
great
questions
for
staff,
go
ahead,
yeah.
I
Thanks
mayor
I
have
a
couple
questions
for
staff
and
I'd
raised,
one
of
them
previously
and
the
first
one
is
more
with
respect
to
Logistics
recognizing
as
an
eight
lane,
bridge
and
I
said,
I
think
it
says
two
will
remain
open
or
the
North
current
North
Exit
will
be
closed,
and
that
was
with
respects
to
ensuring
minimal
disruption
to
keep
traffic
flowing
the
city
and
other
works
that
we
had
scheduled,
such
as
on
the
Camby
Bridge.
Who
can
get
reassurance
that
the
city
will
still
keep
moving
during
this
process?.
L
Student,
oh
here
we
are
post
order
director
of
Transportation
yeah
we've
we've
as
we've
put
together
the
ITT
for
the
contract.
We
were
really
careful
to
be
sure
that
we
were
going
to
manage
risks
in
terms
of
congestion
Wells.
So
essentially
the
traffic
on
the
bridge
can
fit
into
a
lane
in
either
direction.
So
it's
really
about
managing
how
traffic
gets
onto
and
off
of
the
bridge.
L
So
the
other
thing
that
we
did
in
the
contract
was
really
ensure
that
the
period
of
closure
of
the
part
of
the
bridge
north
of
the
Seymour
and
how
on-ramps
so
between
Drake
and
those
ramps
would
be
closed
for
the
minimum
amount
of
time
possible
so
that
we
could
get
transit
flowing
on
that
again.
But.
I
Sort
of
following
up
on
that
so
for
certainty,
because
two
lanes
is
obviously
very
different
than
eight,
so
the
other
Bridges
will
remain
open,
won't
have
Works.
Will
people
be
guided
to
potentially
take
an
alternate
route
like
what?
What
are
we
looking
at
yeah.
L
We
haven't
worked
out
the
details
of
the
traffic
management
plan,
but
we'll
definitely
be
ensuring
that
all
any
work
on
the
other
Bridges
is
coordinated
with
when
there
are
impacts
on
gravel
I.
Don't
think
we
have
any
major
work
planned
right
now,
but
if
anything
comes
up,
that
would
be
coordinated.
Thank.
I
You
and
then
my
second
question
is
with
respect
to
finances,
because
when,
if,
if
memory
serves
when
we
made
this
decision,
we
were
constrained
in
the
midst
of
the
pandemic
in
terms
of
and
scaled
down
the
project
and
looking
at
the
overall
cost
and
came
up
with
what
we
thought
was
the
best
interim
step.
If
I
can
phrase
it
that
way,
to
get
the
maximum
benefit
for
pedestrian
and
cycling
Improvement.
So
my
question
from
fiscal
responsibility
perspective
and
our
situation
was
not
as
dire
as
we
thought.
I
know.
I
L
So
what
this
project
does
is
it
gets
that
critical,
walking
inside
accessible,
walking,
cycling
connection
across
the
bridge
right
now,
it's
inaccessible
and
the
full
project
cost
was
coming
in
at
about
38
35
million
dollars
just
for
the
bridge
portion,
probably
more
significantly
more
now
that
costing
was
a
significant
amount
of
inflation
ago.
So.
F
I
L
So
I
believe
our
recommendation
would
be
to
move
forward
with
the
project,
as
is
and
there's
a
number
of
reasons
for
that.
But
one
of
one
of
them
is
there's
a
significant
amount
of
work
that
will
need
to
be
done
in
the
bridge
in
the
future,
from
a
structural
and
seismic
point
of
view,
and
that
would
be
a
better
time
to
coordinate
kind
of
some
of
the
bigger
work
and
to
make
it
more
permanent.
H
Maybe
the
one
piece
that
I
would
add
is
just
that:
there's
limited
number
of
of
DCL
funds
available,
and
so,
if
we
added
to
you
know,
we
would
be
moving
from
another
one.
So
I
think
the
teams
prioritized
to
get
as
much
output
from
the
funding
that
we
can
rather
than
taking
from
other
projects.
J
Thanks
that
question
made
me
just
wonder:
well,
we
have
you
all
here.
If
the
there
has
been
through
various
conversations
about
this
project,
conversations
about
suicide
prevention
means
prevention
added
into
it,
and
it
was
part
of
the
original
scope
and
then
nod
and
some
direction
to
seek
senior
Government
funding
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
any
update
on
where
that
is.
L
Yeah,
thank
you
for
the
question.
We
have
had
ongoing
conversations
with
senior
levels
of
government
about
funding
means
prevention,
fencing
so
far.
We
haven't
kind
of
landed
anything,
but
it's
going
to
be
something
we
continue
to
work
on.
Okay,.
A
Somebody
moves
a
motion:
they
report,
please
Mr
Kirby
Young
seconded
by
councilor
oil.
Any
discussion
don't
see
anybody
on
the
Queue,
so
we'll
just
call
a
vote
on
this
one,
all
in
favor
yay
any
opposed.
A
Councilweave
Domino
ply
there,
we
go
cancer,
weave
that
passes
with
counselor
dejanova
and
Hardwick
in
opposition.
Thank
you.
So
much
we're
on
to
item
number
six.
A
Counselor
Swanson
held
this
one.
This
is
the
the
Dodge
Chargers
counselor
Swanson,
not
sure.
If
we
have
all
the
staff
we
need,
but
we'll
try.
Councilor
Swanson
go
ahead.
B
Thanks
for
the
question,
counselor
Alex
Ralph,
a
chief
procurement
officer-
so
this
is
for
54
units,
so
work
have
actually
purchased
all
of
them
already.
B
And
you've
already
bought
them.
That
is
correct.
We
received
a
notification
from
Fiat
Chrysler
Canada,
letting
us
know
that
they
were
discontinuing
next
year,
their
production
line,
and
if
we
wanted
to
continue
with
this
model
and
and
make
our
final
order,
we
needed
to
place
orders
by
October.
So
we
have
already
purchased
the
the
vehicles.
We
actually
put
this
contract
award
through.
M
Bid
committee
and
and
we
and.
B
The
council
recess,
given
the
procurement
policy,
just
they
were,
they
awarded
the
contract
on
behalf
of
council,
and
so
this
is
kind
of
asking
for
approval
retroactively.
B
So
as
part
of
the
procurement
policy
counselor,
the
chief
procurement
officer
must
for
any
approval
made
by
bid
committee
on
behalf
of
Council
on
the
first
opportunity
when
Council
reconvenes,
the
chief
procurement
officer
must
inform
Council
about
that
award.
B
H
Yeah
thanks
mayor,
my
first
question
is:
what's
the
expected
lifespan
of
these
vehicles.
B
Yes,
and
maybe
Albert
James
is
on
the
line
if
he
can
take
that
question.
Sure
thanks
Alex,
the
expected
life
cycle
of
these
vehicles
is
five
years.
Wow.
H
Okay,
that's
pretty
short,
so.
H
And,
and
what
was
the
rationale
for?
Why
didn't
we
go
with
electric
vehicles
which
have
great
torque,
great
speed,.
L
B
H
Have
you
explored
where,
when
there
will
be
options
available.
B
That's
the
expectation,
or
at
least
that's
the
hope-
that
over
over
the
next
few
years,
we'll
see
the
changes
in
Technologies,
particularly
around
Battery
Technology.
The
challenge,
of
course,
is
because
these
use
their
lights
on
an
ongoing
basis
and
they're
they're,
basically
always
on
the
road.
There's
no
real
charge
time
for
them.
That
we'll
see
changes
in
Battery
Technology.
That
will
allow
them
to
be
used
for,
for
this.
H
I
think
that
that's
yeah,
the
the
probability
is
great
that
we're
certainly
hearing
on
on
battery
life
expectancy
increases
that
are
quite
Market.
Are
you
working
with
any
other
police
departments
or
other
agencies
that
use
these
kinds
of
vehicles
to
provide
for
sort
of
application
of
your
lobbying
to
the
industry
to
provide
these.
G
C
G
B
C
Aha,
so
we
have
them
already
or
they're.
A
Yeah,
that's
it.
Somebody
moved
this
report,
please
that's
reply
secondary
second
councilor
Dave
Nova,
any
discussion,
counselor
weeb.
B
Yeah
I'm
excited
that,
hopefully,
in
the
future,
looking
at
all
the
information
online,
it
looks
like
the
maintenance
costs
and
other
cost
of
electric
vehicles
will
significantly
reduce
the
budget,
and
so
hopefully,
in
the
future
recognizing
these
are
bought.
We
can
move
to
the
electric
model,
which
is
quicker,
less
maintenance
and
provides
better
policy.
So
it's
part
of
this
in
the
future.
A
Okay,
thanks
I'll
just
call
a
vote
on
this
one,
all
in
favor
of
let's
say:
yay.
Okay,
any
opposed
I
see
none
opposed
so
that
passes.
Thank
you.
We're
on
to
the
auditor
general
recommendations
held
by
counselor
Hardwick
counselor
Hardwick.
Do
you
have
questions.
C
Yes,
I
do
my
my
question.
Of
course
this
report
was
was
approved
by
the
auditor
general
committee,
but
it's
regarding
whistleblowing
and
I
was
wondering
if
it
would
be
possible
to
clarify
how
the
definitions
of
whistleblowing
had
changed.
My
understanding
is
that
this
is
allowing
policy
to
address
complaints
coming
from
external
sources
as
opposed
to
internal
sources
and
I.
Just
wonder
if
that
could
be
this
just
described
quickly
for
the
benefit
of
the
public.
L
Thanks
councilor
Hardwick
Paul
Walker
here:
yes,
that's
our
understanding
of
council's
intent
and
direction
that
the
policy
be
expanded
in
scope
to
include
or
taking
consideration,
complaints
from
the
public
as
well
as
what
would
be
more
traditionally
considered
as
whistleblowers,
which
are
people
inside
the
organization.
So
we're
looking
at
at
both
of
those
and
the
new
policy
we'll
address
both
of
those
essentially
sources
of
complaints.
C
Well
great
so
I'd
like
to
move
the
report
in
that
case
and.
A
Does
have
a
secondary
I
saw
a
counselor
Bly,
so
go
ahead.
Counselor
Hardwick.
C
Well,
I
just
again
I.
This
was
a
significant
accomplishment
of
this
Council.
The
fact
that
we,
we
started
our
term
as
the
only
major
Canadian
city
without
an
auditor
general
and
we're
ending
it
with
with
this
completed
and
Mike
mcdonell
in
this
role,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
and
happily
support
this
report
thanks.
You.
F
Thanks
that
won't
take
all
five
minutes.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
counselor
Hardwick
for
bringing
forward
the
motion
and
putting
in
a
lot
of
work
and
I
know
she
put
it
her
heart
into
this
as
well.
Making
sure
that
that
there
were
experts
across
the
country
that
were
consulted
before
we
move
forward
at
the
city
of
Vancouver,
with
the
office
of
the
auditor
general.
So
I
just
wanted
to
note
that,
and
thank
you,
councilor
harpoint,
for
your
work
on
that.

I'll

a
point
of

not

per
the

I
Thank

Mayor
I
have
two
notices
of
motion
to
read
into
the
record.
The
first
one
is
titled

Vancouver's
Chinatown,
submitted
by

for
the
November
15th

and

one
notice
of
motion
for
the
council

of
November
15th
titled

stopping
the
road
tax.
D
Thanks
mayor
I
have
two
notices
of
a
motion
for
the
November
15th
council
meeting,
one
enabling
the
requisitioning
and
hiring
of
100
new
police
officers
and
100
mental
health
nurses
and
the
second
one
is
accessibility.
Audit
of
all
city-owned
assets.
A
A
Okay.
Now
we're
on
to
new
business,
leaves
of
absence,
counselor
Kirby
young
for
meetings
on
November
16th
from
six
onward
councilor
dominato
November's
24th
from
three
to
sorry
from
three
to
eight
pm:
counselor
Domino
for
meetings,
October
27th
from
6
to
10.
The
first
two
are
for
civic
business,
allows
us
for
personal
reasons,
great
so
I
guess
we'll
have
all
those
in
favor
of
these
hey,
yay,
oh
I
forgot
to
move
as
a
mover,
counselor
Bly
seconded
by
counselor
Boyle,
all
in
favor,
yay
yeah.
G
E
Just
a
leaf
of
absence
that
did
not
make
it
onto
the
list
from
meetings,
December,
5th
and
6th
they'll
be
at
fcm.
Okay,.
A
So
for
civic
business,
so
do
we
have
we'll
pre-approved
that
clerks?
Do
we
need
to
vote
on
that
one
too?
Okay?
So
we
have
a
motion:
Professor
Carr,
secondary
councilor
Boyle.
Thank
you
all
in
favor,
yay.
Okay,
any
opposed!
No,
that's
good!
Okay!
Thanks
very
much!
We
are
on
to
inquiries
and
other
matters,
I
believe
counselor,
Hardwick
inquiries
and
other
matters.
C
Yes,
this
is
a
a
confirmation
that
I'd
like
to
pose
to
the
city
manager
for
an
on
the
record
response.
C
If
the
new
Council
wishes
to
reconsider
the
Broadway
plan
or
the
Vancouver
plan
in
part
or
in
whole,
I
have
been
given
advice
from
the
legal
department
that,
because
these
are
policies
that
they
would
only
require
a
majority
vote
on
Council.
To
do
so.
C
I
also
note
that,
although
there
is
an
agreement
between
the
city
and
TransLink
regarding
the
Broadway
Corridor,
the
agreement
specifically
says
that
it
is
not
legally
binding
on
the
city
under
1.7
status
of
agreement,
I
can
read
the
the
total
a
part
out
as
governmental
or
public
authorities.
Each
party
acknowledges
that
it
is
governed
by
officials
who
are
Duty
bound
to
enact
bylaws
and
policies
in
accordance
with
the
mandates
stipulated
in
each
party's
governing
legislation
as
such
and
despite
any
other
term
of
this
SBA.
C
To
the
contrary,
the
parties
acknowledge
and
agree
that
this
SBA
is
not
intended
to
and
will
not
operate
so
as
to
create
legally
binding
rights
and
obligations,
nor
better
the
lawful
discretion
of
the
powers
of
either
party.
With
respect
to
the
subject
matter,
this
Spa,
therefore,
both
the
Broadway
plan
and
the
Vancouver
plan,
can
be
amended
or
withdrawn
and
replaced
by
a
majority
vote
of
council.
L
Thanks
councilor
Hardwick,
as
as
policy
decision
by
Council,
that
is
consistent
with
my
understanding.
I
would
defer
to
Legal
Services
to
give
Council
legal
advice
on
the
supportive
policies
agreement,
but
generally
Council
future
councils
have
the
opportunity
to
review
those
policies
and
can
make
changes
to
them.
C
Thank
you
very
much
city
manager.
I
would
just
like
that
to
be
noted
into
the
record,
and
they
certainly
welcome
to
check
the
legal
references
as
have
I,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
abundantly
clear
into
the
public
record.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
B
He
was
part
of
the
survivors,
totem,
pole
community.
He
documented
struggles
of
low-income
downtown
east
side
residents
on
his
cable
TV
show
he
loved
his
grandchildren
dearly
and
he
always
signed
off
his
show.
His
cable
TV
show,
with
the
phrase
shamelessly
promoting
our
community,
which,
which
was
the
downtown
east
side,
which
he
loved
and
I
know,
there's
many
many
people
that
are
going
to
really
miss
him.
I
Thanks
have
an
inquiry
through
you
to
staff,
and
it's
with
respect
to
on
June
earlier
this
year,
which
I
know
seems
like
a
long
time
ago
for
people
Council
passed
a
motion
to
include
a
public
e-scooter
share
service
in
our
provincial
pilot.
That
is
happening,
but
the
goal
of
this
commencing
by
Spring
2023
and
I'm
wondering
if
we
can
get
an
update
on
the
status
of
that
work.
To
get
that
pilot
up
and
running
in
an
RFP
out
to
Industry.
A
B
Yeah,
the
last
Vancouver
food
policy
passed
a
resolution
that
they
wanted
me
to
read
out
that
they
recommend
that
the
city
of
Vancouver
Implement
policy
regulations
to
require
private
race
callers
to
track
and
publicly
report
on
the
quantity
of
food
ways
that
they
pick
up
on
a
monthly
basis.
Be
that
the
Vancouver
food
policy
Council
recommend
that
the
city
of
Vancouver
share
publicly
an
estimation
of
the
total
food
waste
generated
in
Vancouver
and
the
annual
savings
potential
in
dollars.
Co2
water
and
land.
Three
that
they
recommend
that
we
set
a
food
waste
reduction.
B
D
Thanks
mayor,
do
we
I'm
just
a
quick,
clarify
question?
Do
we
have
any
beyond
the
November
3rd
there's
a
one
meeting
been
called
any
other
meetings,
not.
D
I,
just
not
inquiry,
but
just
some
comments.
Just
recognizing
that
there's
a
few
members
of
our
Council
I
just
want
to
recognize
and
acknowledge
their
service.
I
think
it's
important
as
we
transition
to
acknowledge
the
different
roles
and
that
individual
counselors
have
played
I
want
to
acknowledge
counselor
Swanson
as
a
counselor.
Here
she
has
always
brought
to
our
attention
The,
Plight
and
importance
of
individuals
who
are
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
society
and
kept
that
at
the
Forefront
of
our
discussions
and
dialogue
and
I.
D
Think
that's
something
that
we
will
continue
to
do
as
as
a
new
Council
and
so
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
in
her
service
and
in
many
other
areas,
counselor
Hardwick
as
well
in
acknowledging.
Obviously
she
we
haven't
always
seen
eye
to
eye
on
certain
issues,
but
I
think
again
want
to
say
thank
you
for
her
service
and
particularly
around
the
work
around
the
auditor
general.
Bringing
an
auditor
general
to
the
city
of
Vancouver.
I.
Think
it
was.
D
You
know
well
supported
across
Council
and
I
think
there
was
a
recognition
that
it
brought
enormous
value
to
the
city
and
to
our
governance
model
to
councilor
diginoa,
who
I
believe
is
still
on
the
line.
I
also
want
to
thank
Council
digenova
for
her
service
and
that
she
always
placed
heavy
emphasis
and
focus
on
the
importance
of
families
in
our
city
and
public
and
Community
safety,
and
not
only
served
on
Council
but
also
served
on
Park
Board
and
so
acknowledging
her
work
and
role.
D
I'd
also
like
to
acknowledge
to
my
right,
my
colleague,
counselor
Michael,
weeb
and
his
service
here
at
this
table
and
has
always
brought
enormous
passion
to
the
dialogue,
but
also
analysis
and
really
trying
to
push
us
to
think
outside
the
box.
Talks
on
a
number
of
issues,
and
also
speaking
often
from
lived
experience
and,
finally
to
you,
mayor,
Stewart,
Stewart
I,
also
want
to
thank
you
for
your
service.
I've
heard
you
on
many
occasions,
speak
about
the
issues
of
Housing
and
homelessness
and
a
number
of
other
issues,
including
reconciliation.
D
As
we
talked
today
about
the
undripped
strategy
and
I
know,
it
really
comes
from
the
heart
and
you've
talked
about
your
own
personal
experience
and
we've
definitely
had
many
shared
values
around
the
importance
of
addressing
homelessness
and
housing
in
the
city.
So
I
also
want
to
thank
you
for
your
service
and
then
to
all
the
members
of
councils,
I've
referenced,
and
so
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
Council
reply.
E
Well,
that
is
a
little
bit
tough
to
follow
so
I'd,
just
like
to
thank
Council
dominato
for
having
the
foresight
and
echoing
her
comments
and
and
appreciate
her
raising
those
into
all
of
our
colleagues
here
today
for
all
of
the
work
that
has
been
put
in
over
the
last
four
years.
Okay,
back
to
the
concern
that
I
raise
is
regarding
two
parts
specifically
I've
heard
from
residents
who
are
visually
impaired
and
are
relying
on
the
signal.
E
The
the
level
of
volume
at
our
signals
at
Major,
crosswalks
and
I
just
want
to
point
out
one
specifically
and
that's
it
Marine
Gateway,
Camby
and
Marine
Drive,
but
then
also
I'd
like
to
hear
back
in
the
form
of
a
memo
is
fine
in
terms
of
how
we
reconcile
the
various
tensions
between
residents
who
who
are
living
around
these
high-density
neighborhoods
and
high
traffic
intersections
with
the
accessibility
issue
related
to
Signal
Crossings,
so
specifically
to
that
intersection
raising
on
behalf
of
this
resident
and
then
also
the
the
sort
of
more
macro
criteria
for
how
we
respond
to
those
queries.
E
A
Just
put
myself
on
the
Queue
here,
this
will
be
my
last
cheering
Mission
I.
Think
on
this
on
this
Council
and
I
have
to
say,
I
look
back
with
a
lot
of
Pride
of
the
last
four
years.
A
I
really
think
when
I
think
of
what
this
Council
has
been
through,
there
really
haven't
been
times
that
are
more
difficult
than
these,
although
it's
I
think
about
the
declaring
the
state
of
emergency
and
just
all
the
uncertainty
around
covid
and
what
that
done
to
our
city,
but
how
we
came
through
it
as
as
a
council
and
and
better
than
most
cities.
A
And
although
you
know
we
had
our
political
differences,
I
would
say:
there's
more
unanimous
votes
on
this
Council
than
not
and
I
think
that's
something
that
we
all
worked
hard
to
do
and
and
really
really
proud
of,
that
work
and
I
think
we
left
the
city
in
in
in
good
hands
for
the
next
Council,
who
I
congratulate
on
on
coming
in
and
I.
Think
I.
Think
that's
a
credit
to
all
of
us,
and
and
thank
you
again
for
your
service
over
the
four
years
would
also
like
to
thank
staff.
A
I
see
two
two
of
our
leadership
team
here,
but
the
I've
came
to
really
enjoy
the
the
weekly
meetings
to
kind
of
to
walk
out
kind
of
the
teeth,
shattering
thinking
about
what
goes
on
in
the
city
and
what
we
have
to
deal
with,
and
so
I
really
do
want
to
think
about.
A
Thank
the
senior
management
team
and
all
the
staff
here
at
the
city
for
for
everything
they've
done,
and
that
includes
my
staff
in
the
mayor's
office
who
work
themselves
to
the
Bone,
especially
during
very
difficult
times,
but
also
helping
to
I
think
better.
The
relationships
between
the
senior
levels
of
government,
who,
who
kind
of
so
I
hope
that
continues
and
that
we
continue
to
to
get
our
fair
share
from
this
from
Ottawa.
A
At
least
I
see,
John
Tory
got
back
in
for
a
third
term
and
we'll
have
to
compete
with
him
for
money
for
Subways
and
Investments,
and
all
those
kind
of
things
so
so
I
hope
that
that
continues
also
I
guess
in
the
end,
I
see
Nathan
davidovich
here
who,
who
is,
has
been
a
constant
feature
in
many
of
our
meetings,
but
really
just
to
the
public
who
who
who
came
in
to
to
have
their
felt
it
was
a
place
they
could
come
and
speak
to
to
share
their
views
and,
and
you
know,
help
shape
the
city
so
just
for
everybody
here.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
everything.
You've
done
I,
look
forward
to
interacting
with
you
in
different
ways.
After
after
this
is
done,
but
again
I've
enjoyed
my
time
and
it's
really
been
the
honor
of
my
life
to
to
to
serve
here,
but
I
look
forward
to
serving
the
city
in
some
other
way.
So,
thanks
again,
everybody.
L
So
thanks
Council,
as
this
is
the
last
regular
meeting
of
the
term
I,
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity,
on
behalf
of
the
entire,
the
entire
staff
team,
to
acknowledge
you
for
your
service
to
the
city
and
your
incredibly
hard
work
over
the
last
four
years.
Intent
really
isn't
here
that
the
staff
get
the
last
word,
but
that's
kind
of
how
it
pans
out.
L
L
You
were
going
to
be
governing
Vancouver
through
the
biggest
cast
catastrophe
since
World
War
II,
but
that
is
in
fact
those
were
the
cards
you
were
dealt
and
just
turning
the
clock
back
to
March
of
2020
you'll
recall
just
the
massive
uncertainty
that
we
were
facing
that
time
about
the
pandemic,
the
impact
on
our
residents
and
businesses,
the
impact
on
the
city's
finances
and
we're
still
working
through
those
implications.
L
All
of
our
hard
problems
that
we're
facing
in
Vancouver
got
harder
and
that's
just
the
reality
of
circumstances
that
were
outside
our
control,
your
control
for
sure.
But,
notwithstanding
that
this
Council
has
you,
you
have
delivered
a
really
important
and
meaningful
Legacy
of
work,
significant
impacts
for
the
city
going
forward
and
again,
that
is
notwithstanding
those
tough
circus
chances.
So
what
we've?
Our
staff
have
prepared.
A
short
video
just
capturing
some
of
what's
been
accomplished
here.
L
L
L
L
L
L
L
L
L
You
definitely
win
the
stamina
award
I
think
over
the
past
four
years.
It's
it's
definitely
been
cleared
to
all
of
our
staff,
that,
notwithstanding
the
debates
that
have
happened
here
in
the
council
chamber
and
differences
on
policy
and
position
that
every
member
of
this
council
is
deeply
committed
to
making
Vancouver
a
better
place.
That
has
been
absolutely
clear
to
us,
like
I,
say
for
four
years
and
you've
done
that
so
on
behalf
of
your
entire
staff.
L
Just
thank
you
again
for
standing
for
office
and
for
making
the
sacrifices
that
come
with
that.
We
have
some
sense
of
what
those
are
and
they're
significant
and
for
your
service
to
our
city.
It's
we're
very
lucky
of
staff
to
do
this
work
and
it's
just
been
a
real
pleasure
to
support
you
in
your
work
over
the
last
four
years.
So
we
have
a
for
the
members
of
accounts
who
are
not
returning
for
the
next
term.
L
We
have
a
tradition
of
providing
a
gift
and
for
counselors
as
well,
there's
an
actual
official
medal
that
you
get,
which
you've
well
earned
over
this
past
term,
so
for
counselors,
Hardwick
and
D,
Genova
and
Swanson.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
service.
We
will,
of
course
ensure
that
we
get
the
gift
and
medal
to
you,
but
for
councilor
weeb.
Thank
you
for
your
service.
L
Stewart
as
well
just
thank
you
so
much
for
your
collegial
working
style,
your
care
for
staff.
Over
these
four
years.
We've
also
enjoyed
our
meetings
with
you
every
Monday
morning
and
and
again
all
the
terrifying
things
that
we
talk
about
in
those
meetings.
But
no,
it's
just
been
such
a
pleasure
working
with
you
and
your
team
and
the
tone
that
you've
set
for
us.
So
thank
you
for
your
leadership
as
well.
