CALL TO ORDER AND RELATED BUSINESS

1.1

Call to Order

 

 

 

Mayor D. Iveson called the meeting to order at 9:32 a.m., and acknowledged that Council is meeting on the traditional land of Treaty 6 Territory, and he also acknowledged the diverse Indigenous peoples whose ancestors' footsteps have marked this territory for centuries such as: Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Nakota Sioux, as well as Metis and Inuit, and now settlers from around the world.

 

 

 

 

 

1.2

Moved B. Esslinger - A. Knack:

1.4

Protocol Items

 

 

Office of the City Manager Chief of Staff (L. Cochrane)

 

 

 

L. Cochrane, City Manager, introduced the new Office of the City Manager Chief of Staff, M. Labrecque. He is an accomplished executive leader with experience in high profile, public positions responsible for physical plant management, project management, budgeting, infrastructure development, transportation systems planning, human resource management, and public works services. The Chief of Staff position will support the Corporate Leadership Team with its integration work. This is a senior leadership position that will also play a key role in building the strategic framework, leading significant corporate projects, managing high-urgency and sensitive issues, facilitating department integration, and working with key external stakeholders.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Former City Councillor - Kiviaq, formally known as David Ward
(D. Iveson)

 

 

 

Mayor D. Iveson, on behalf of City Council, paid tribute to former City Councillor - Kiviaq, formally known as David Ward, who passed away from a courageous battle with cancer on April 24, 2016. He successfully ran for City Council in 1968 and served as alderman for six years, during which time he helped successfully lobby for the 1978 Commonwealth Games. He will most notably be remembered for his personal legal battle for the right to use his birth name, Kiviaq, rather than David Ward. He won his case in 2001. This was a remarkable achievement and had a significant impact for the Inuit as naming in Inuit Heritage is a matter of identity. By winning this case, he secured the ability for his fellow Inuit to maintain their identities and ties to their heritage. Family and friends of Kiviaq were present in Council Chamber.
