MEMORIUM
ERNEST MAITLAND
His Worship, Mayor Derek
Corrigan announced the recent passing of Ernest Maitland. The text of the
Mayor’s statement follows:
“This evening I want to
recognize the recent passing of Ernest Maitland, a longtime Burnaby resident
who served his community in a variety of capacities during his lifetime.
Ernest passed away on
October 1, 2015 at the age of 88. He was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba and is
survived by his wife, Ethel; children, Jason, Murray, Clayton, and Elaine; and
grandchildren, Brendon, Philip, Mark, Michael, and Rebekah.
Family activities were a big
focus of Ernest’s life, including camping, playing games like cribbage, and big
family dinners. He completed a geography degree at SFU and worked in the
transportation field for many years, including teaching at BCIT, and as a
transportation economist with Canada Post.
Ernest was a proud resident
of Burnaby for 64 years and was deeply involved in a number of volunteer
capacities with the Burnaby Public Library, serving as a library trustee from
2007-2012. After completing his term, he remained involved as a champion of
Home Library Services, “My First Language” collections, and teen reading
services.
In 2014, Ernest received
the Local Hero Award from the City of Burnaby in recognition of his many years
of service to the community. As his nominators described, “He is a passionate
advocate for the library…and we are certain that “love” is the best word to
describe his association with the Burnaby Public Library and by extension the
Burnaby community.”
Tonight, we honour Ernest
Maitland and remember his contributions to the community and his friends and
family. He is someone truly deserving of the title, “Local Hero”.
Thank you Ernest.”
DAVID FRYATT
His Worship, Mayor Derek
Corrigan also announced the recent passing of David Fryatt. The text of the
Mayor’s statement follows:
“I would also like to
recognize another person who we have lost and that is David Fryatt who passed
away recently at the age of 94.
David “Mr. Soccer” Fryatt
was a huge contributor to the advancement of sport in Canada and was inducted
into the BC Sports Hall of Fame for his wide ranging achievements in the sport
of soccer spanning the past 65 years.
Up until a year ago, Mr.
Fryatt was still very active contributing to sports in BC and he played an
important role with the Swangard Stadium Society in Burnaby.
From his playing days as
captain of the Collingwood Senior A soccer team to his role as President of the
Canadian Soccer Association, Mr. Fryatt was an inspiration to everyone he met
and we owe a great deal of our sporting heritage to
him. He was a founding
director of the Vancouver ‘86ers soccer team (now the Vancouver Whitecaps) and
served in many other capacities in the BC Juvenile Soccer Finance Committee,
the Provincial Vancouver Sun Tournament of Soccer Champions, the 1973 Canada
Summer Games Committee, the Pacific Coast Soccer League, and his 26 years on
the executive of the Canadian Soccer Association.
David Fryatt will be missed
and we honour his invaluable contributions to sport in Canada and remember him
as a wonderful person, friend and mentor, and someone with a strong moral
compass in all areas of life and sport.”
Ms. Rebecca Pasch,
Archivist, with the assistance of Ms. Helen Mitten, Business Analyst, provided
Council with a review of the City’s award-winning Heritage Burnaby website
highlighting the improvements to the website that were made over the past year,
and only recently released publicly.
The website was launched in
2008 as an initiative of the Community Heritage Commission and City Council,
and serves as a search tool to access the City’s rich heritage collection.
Mayor Corrigan thanked the
presenters for the demonstration and noted that the recent upgrade to the
Heritage Burnaby website makes a wealth of material available to the public
that would not otherwise be accessible.

|
Ms. Natasha Mistry, Manager, Public Policy
and Stakeholder Relations and Mr. Gary Dawes, GoHere Volunteer,
Crohn's and Colitis Canada appeared before Council to create awareness of the
number of Canadian’s who are affected by Crohn’s and Colitis, and the serious
lack of public washroom facilities. This shortage of washrooms is
particularly an issue in the vicinity of public transit and transportation
facilities.
Ms. Mistry also pointed out that
many small and medium sized businesses do not make their washrooms readily
available or are available for customers only.
This poses a serious problem for
people suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
It was noted that the City of
Calgary is a front runner in terms of working with Crohn’s and Colitis Canada
and placing signage on public buildings. The City of Toronto has adopted
bylaw regulations requiring washroom accessibility.
Council was encouraged to take
similar measures to improve the accessibility of washrooms for IBD sufferers
and consider the placement of GoHere signage on municipal buildings.
MOVED BY COUNCILLOR DHALIWAL

Councillor Dhaliwal – Metro Vancouver analysis
of “New Direction” report
Councillor Dhaliwal served
notice of the following motion that will come forward for consideration at the
2015 November 09 Open Council meeting:
“Whereas in April
2015 the Honourable Bernard Valcourt, Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and
Northern Development Canada, released a 92-page report entitled “A New
Direction” containing 43 recommendations on the federal government role in
treaty making in Canada authored by Douglas Eyford, Ministerial Special
Representative to the Minister;
Whereas the “A New Direction”
report lists shortcomings in the treaty process including institutional
barriers, inefficiencies, poor accountability, and lack of urgency;
Whereas the “A New Direction”
report urged the federal government to get fully engaged in the treaty process,
to assess which treaty talks should be moved forward and which should be
abandoned, to implement methods to fast-track the completion of those remaining
and exit those with little prospect for settlement;
Whereas the “A New Direction”
report calls for more options for reconciliation outside of the BC treaty
process, stating that the current federal comprehensive land claims process is
not productive;
Whereas moving away from the
current federal approach in treaty negotiations toward bilateral federal-First
Nation non-treaty agreements, where local governments are not involved in the
negotiation process, poses significant implications for local government;
Whereas the “A New Direction”
report does not address Metro Vancouver’s prior submission of local government
comments on the Interim Policy and participation in the meeting with Mr.
Douglas Eyford and federal government staff in October 2014;
Whereas local government is not
referenced in the “A New Direction” report with the exception of Metro
Vancouver and UBCM being listed as engagement participants under the heading of
“Other Stakeholders and Interested Parties”;
Whereas the “A New Direction”
report identities local government as other stakeholders and special interested
parties; not as elected governments of their constituents;
Whereas the Metro Vancouver
analysis identities three areas of support within the recommendations included
with the “A New Direction” report – early resolution of overlapping claims or
shared territories, expansion of the scope of federal treaty negotiator
mandates, and the federal government’s involvement in the treaty implementation
must be more substantive;
Whereas the Metro Vancouver
analysis identifies eight areas of concern (not support) within the
recommendations included with the “A New Direction” report – certainly over
lands and resources matters, Incremental Treaty Agreements (ITA) should not be a
replacement for treaties, communication with local government matters, local
government needs to be identified, local governments are not third parties,
taxation is a key local government concern, direct negotiations between local
governments and First Nations should be promoted, local government requires
effective enforcement mechanisms (to ensure the safe provision of local series
under local service agreements with First Nations);
Whereas it is not clear if and
when the federal government intends to respond to, or implement, the
recommendation with the “A New Direction” report; and as requested by Metro
Vancouver,
That Council endorse the Metro
Vancouver report dated 2015 July 22, entitled, “An Analysis of A New
Direction Report on the Renewed Federal Comprehensive land Claims Policy in
Relation to Local Government Interests”;
That Council convey this
endorsement to the federal Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern
Development Canada as an expression of concern that local government interests
were not identified or addressed in the “A New Direction” report;
That Council request that the
federal government engage and include local government in the federal
government’s review of the land claims process prior to responding to the
recommendations contained within the “A New Direction” report; and
That Council issue a copy of
the transmittal to Greg Moore, Chair of Metro Vancouver Board.”
Mayor Derek Corrigan – National Zero Waste
Council
Mayor Corrigan referenced a
communication dated 2015 October 23 from Metro Vancouver, sent on behalf of the
National Zero Waste Council, urging Council to support a proposed tax incentive
to reduce food waste.

MOVED BY councillor dhaliwal
SECONDED BY councillor jordan
|
|
|
|
1. THAT
Council support the National Zero Waste Council’s food waste reduction
federal tax incentive proposal and urge the government of Canada to implement
tax incentives for food producers, suppliers and retailers to donate unsold
edible food, thereby, reducing unnecessary food waste, decreasing disposal
cost to municipalities, reducing the environmental impact of food waste and
addressing the issue of hunger and poverty in our communities.
2. THAT
Council forward this resolution to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities
(FCM), requesting that FCM urge the Government of Canada to implement tax incentives
for food producers, suppliers and retailers to donate unsold edible food and
that this resolution be considered at FCMs upcoming Annual General Meeting.
