Mayor’s Opening Remarks
His Worship, Mayor Mike
Hurley provided Opening Remarks that read as follows:
“As we resume the business
of the City this year, I would like to take a few moments to review some of the
major work Council has accomplished so far and look ahead to the coming year.
In the fall of 2018, we
made it a City priority to open four warming centres. With support and helpful
donations from the community and charities, these warming centres saved lives,
reduced suffering and made our community safer.
Affordable homes are hard
to find in this region. When thousands of people were threatened with evictions
as older buildings were slated for redevelopment, the need for solutions was
clear.
We called for a pause on
demolitions of existing rental housing to protect tenants and give us time to
develop a way forward.
The first major step was
the formation of the Mayor’s Task Force on Community Housing and the launch of
an inclusive and far-reaching public engagement process.
Public workshops and
surveys drew feedback from 2,600 residents. Their thoughts and ideas fed into
the work of the Task Force and shaped the final recommendations.
Comprised of developers,
tenants, labour, not-for-profit representatives and community activists, and
chaired by Councillor Pietro Calendino, the Task Force also included me and
Councillors Joe Keithley, Sav Dhaliwal and James Wang.
With a process designed and
facilitated by Simon Fraser University’s Centre for Dialogue, the Task Force
met over six months to develop a plan to meet Burnaby’s housing needs today and
for years to come.
Now that the Task Force’s
Final Report is complete and Council has received their recommendations, work
is well-underway to implement the changes we need.
Council has already taken
action to draft two important policies to protect affordable housing and
tenants – the Tenant Assistance Policy and the Rental Use Zoning Policy.
Together, they will provide the strongest protections for renters, ensuring
replacement of affordable housing units and construction of more. Other
policies will come forward to deliver on Task Force recommendations.
The City is already working
with BC Housing to build 1,300 new units of affordable housing in partnership
with developers and non-profits. Last year, the City and BC Housing
opened Burnaby’s first temporary emergency shelter on Douglas Road and soon
after we opened the first supportive housing in Burnaby at Norland Avenue.
We are supporting community
safety both through action on housing, and with Burnaby’s first-ever Community
Safety Plan.
With input from hundreds of
residents, this plan will help build on existing, effective programs and
recommend ways to help people safely connect with each other and the community.
Residents also told us they
are very concerned about our environment, especially climate change.
In 2019, City Council
declared a climate emergency, recognizing the impact of climate change on the
health and safety of our community.
City staff is working on a
framework so Burnaby can meet its goal of being carbon-neutral by 2050.
We will soon start the
conversation about the kinds of big moves we must make to meet this goal.
The focus is on reducing
the City’s emissions by changing how we use energy. Programs include the recent
LED street light conversion, encouraging a switch to electric vehicles by
providing more plug-in charging stations, and updating the transportation plan
to make it easier to choose walking, cycling and transit instead of driving
alone.
We showed our commitment to
active living and sports and the environment by clearing aquatic weeds from
Burnaby Lake. We have made the lake healthier and helped all the rowers who use
it, including the Canadian Olympic Rowing team who appreciate returning to the
only regulation-length rowing facility in Western Canada.
Burnaby leads the region in
protecting its 90 waterways – the streams, creeks, rivers and lakes that
wildlife depends on.
I am very proud of the work
done by volunteers and leaders in our community – Burnaby Stream-keepers and
others – who have worked tirelessly to clean up trash and remove invasive
species so salmon and other animals can survive and flourish.
We are continuing to
upgrade and expand our recreation and community centres with construction
started on the South Burnaby Ice Arena. Planning work is well underway to
redevelop CG Brown Pool and update programs and facilities in the northwest
quadrant of the City.
Community organizations are
the heart and soul of our City. Throughout the year, Councillors participate in
hundreds of community events and meet thousands of people at festivals, sports
tournaments, charitable fundraising events – it’s how we stay in touch and make
sure we are easy to reach.
Last year, City Council
took steps to simplify the process for getting community grants, making it more
transparent and easier to access.
In 2019, Council made
grants to about 40 groups ranging from Burnaby Neighbourhood House and the
Society to End Homelessness, to Burnaby Minor Hockey Association and Stream of
Dreams Mural Society.
One of the biggest
announcements of the year was the provincial government funding to redevelop
and expand Burnaby General Hospital.
We are very grateful and
look forward to the additional 400 beds and expanded emergency department that
the redeveloped hospital will bring to our community.
Hospital improvements are
long overdue. Recognizing a critical and urgent need, the City recently
contributed $1 million towards a new CT scanner for Burnaby General to help
ensure residents get the healthcare they need.
In 2019, we also took
significant action around Indigenous Education and Awareness, developing a new
program enable staff to learn more about the history and legacy of Indigenous
people and implementing corporate guidelines for acknowledgement of Indigenous
territories. As a city, we are committed to promoting and advancing
reconciliation. We are also focused on developing new, innovative
programming for workforce inclusion and diversity that celebrates the city’s
vibrant community and diverse employee population.
We were busy in 2019 and we
will be at least as busy this year.
In the fall, we launched
work on a child care needs assessment that included surveying citizens
regarding their child care needs. Next month, the City will begin
consulting with child care providers to get their thoughts on how best to
increase the number of child care spaces in Burnaby.
We will also begin to take
action on the recommendations in our City’s first Community Safety Plan, and we
will be engaging residents on a new Transportation Plan that will help us
achieve our important climate change goals and improve connections across the
City.
Making the City safer for
people on foot, on bikes, and in wheelchairs will make it easier to go green.
Active transportation is a good way to help clear the air, stay healthy and
connect to people and our natural environment. Our new sidewalk and urban trail
construction program will help significantly to move us in this direction.
As we begin the year, I
offer thanks to everyone who has helped to move Burnaby forward, towards our
common goals.
Councillors and staff, I
hope you all had a good rest over the holidays. We have a lot to do.
Let’s get started!”
