MOMENT OF SILENCE

Mayor Nenshi, on behalf of Members of Council, acknowledged the passing of Barbara Ann Scott, one of the longest serving former Members of Calgary City Council. The Mayor advised that Barb Scott served as an Alderman for 24 years, from 1971 to 1995. In addition to her distinguished service as a Member of Calgary City Council, Barb Scott also received numerous Honours and Awards, such as the Medal of Honour from the Alberta Medical Association, the YWCA’s Women of Distinction Award, and a Paul Harris Fellow of Rotary International.  Mayor Nenshi indicated that recently a new park in the Beltline was named “Barb Scott Park” in recognition of her many achievements in downtown communities.  The Mayor expressed regret that she would not see the official opening of the park. 

Mayor Nenshi also acknowledged the recent passing of John Lord, who served on Calgary City Council from 1995 to 2001, and then represented the citizens of Calgary as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (Calgary-Curry). The Mayor advised that Jon’s work as an Alderman, MLA and a private citizen, included being founding director and Chair of ‘BBQ on the Bow’, founder and owner of Casablanca Video, and the founder of the Marda Loop Business Revitalization Zone. On behalf of Council, Mayor Nenshi expressed condolences to Jon Lord’s family.

A moment of silence was requested to honour the memories of both Barbara Ann Scott and Jon Lord.

YEAR OF RECONCILIATION PROCLAMATION

Mayor Nenshi announced that, following attendance at the final meeting of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada on Residential Schools, he proclaimed “The Year of Reconciliation” from 2014 March 27 to 2015 March 27.   The Mayor hoped this gesture of reconciliation would provide an opportunity for reaching out to our First Nation’s neighbours, and to continue the dialogue about how we grow as a community and correct injustices of the past.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Mayor Nenshi expressed his sadness on his recent attendance at the memorial service for Ms. Zeenab Kassam, a Calgary nurse.  Zeenab, along with Ms. Roshan Thomas, an optometrist from Vancouver, was killed in an act of terrorism in Afghanistan on 2014

March 21.  The Mayor advised that Zeenab went to Afghanistan to teach young girls and Roshan opened a merit-based school in Afghanistan offering an international level education.  Mayor Nenshi stated that both women will be remembered with hope and inspiration.

QUESTION PERIOD

1)  Federal Gas Tax Funding  (Councillor Colley-Urquhart)

My understanding is that recently, the Federal Government doubled the Gas Tax and earmarked the funds for recreation facilities.  Can you provide me with an update?

Mayor Nenshi advised that, in 2013, the Federal government indexed the Gas Tax to inflation which, over time, will result in additional funding.  The Mayor further advised that Sport, Culture and Recreation Infrastructure expenditures are no longer eligible for the Federal Building Canada Fund, but instead shall be eligible for Gas Tax funding.  Mayor Nenshi clarified that, in fact, there have been no additional funds allocated for Sports, Culture and Recreation Infrastructure. 

2)  Budget Impact of Continued Snowfall  (Councillor Chabot)

With respect to the continuing snow accumulation being experienced, what has been our response in residential sectors, and what does our snow removal budget look like?

Don Mulligan, Acting General Manager, Transportation, advised that response to recent snow accumulation is ongoing on residential streets. He further advised that the high level of snowfall will cause the 2013/2014 Snow and Ice Control response to exceed budget.

Mr. Mulligan indicated he will provide Council with the exact numbers as soon as possible.

3)  2014 Spring Clean-up  (Councillor Pootmans)

What impact will this season’s late winter have on street cleaning?

Don Mulligan, Acting General Manager, Transportation advised that, due to two factors, the 2014 Spring Clean-up will extend past July 01 this year.  Mr. Mulligan explained that the difficult winter and expected service reductions due to a Transportation Department budget adjustment, will result in extending the gravel removal season well past Stampede, whereas normally the goal is to complete street sweeping by July 01.
