Annual Report.
Ms. Pierce noted that library

The renovations and upgrades to the
Bob Prittie and McGill library branches have significantly improved the
entrances to these two libraries.

overview of the 2015-2018 Library Service Strategy Plan referred to as “Be
Curious”, and the various activities associated with the implementation of
the Plan, including the community outreach vehicle (pop up library), social
media and library space refresh.
This year marks the 60th
anniversary of the Burnaby Public Library, and Ms. Pierce reviewed the many
activities and events associated with this celebration that will take place
during the course of the year.
The Mayor and members of Council
thanked Ms. Pierce and the Library Board for their hard work and dedication,
and stressed the importance of good libraries to the strength and well-being
of the community.
It was also noted that Ms. Edel

Re:
My Health My Community Survey
Speakers: Dr. Lisa Mu, Medical

|
|
Dr. Lisa Mu, Medical Health Officer
and Ms. Christine Wall, Community Health Specialist appeared
before Council to provide the results of the My Health My Community survey as
they relate to Burnaby.
The survey was conducted between
June 2013 and July 2014, with 2193 Burnaby residents participating in the
survey, representing nearly 1% of the city’s population.
The information gathered through the
survey provides valuable information regarding the health and wellness of the
community, as well as other information related to modes of commuting,
community resiliency and social connectedness. The neighbourhood level data
will be very useful in terms of determining future service requirements and
delivery mechanisms.
Dr. Mu advised that the survey
results have been shared with Healthier Community Partnership members that
include representatives of the City, Fraser Health and the Burnaby School
District.
Mayor Corrigan, along with other
members of Council, responded to the presentation noting the challenge
associated with public education, provision of affordable housing, move
towards more preventative health initiatives, and encouraging more healthy
lifestyles. As the City continues to densify, there is a need to create a
balance between density and socialization. This is part of the Council’s
consideration in developing plans for the provision of future community
amenities in these areas.

WHEREAS:

Asbestos
exposure is the leading cause of work related deaths in BC, and;

there is
currently no provincial certification or licensing in BC of asbestos
abatement professionals to ensure standards and allow for the suspension of
non-compliant contractors; and
·
mandatory
provincial certification and licensing of demolition and environmental
remediation contractors
would allow local
governments in BC require these licenses from contractors as a condition for
issuing demolition and renovation permits.
THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Provincial Government require mandatory licensing,
certification and enforceable compliance in safely handling asbestos and
other hazardous material for all demolition, renovation and environmental
remediation contractors;
AND THAT Burnaby City Council write
to the Premier, the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource

Responsible for Labour requesting that the BC Government require mandatory
licensing, certification, and enforceable compliance in safely handing
asbestos and other hazardous material for all demolition, renovation and
environmental remediation contractors;
