His Worship, Mayor Derek R. Corrigan
introduced Local Government Awareness Week, May 21 to 27, 2017. Local
Government Awareness Week is an annual Union of BC Municipalities initiative
held in May to encourage public participation in local government. Following is
the text of the Mayor’s remarks:
“The theme for Burnaby’s Local
Government Awareness Week 2017 is ‘Celebrating and Connecting Burnaby’. It
promotes local government awareness and opportunities to be engaged in civic
life. As 2017 marks Burnaby’s 125th birthday, the week has been
coordinated to highlight birthday celebrations.
To help us honour both special events,
we hosted a drawing contest and asked grade 5, 6, and 7 students to tell us
what they love about their City. We asked them to let their imaginations run
wild and to create a masterpiece that showcases Burnaby.
We were amazed with the
quality of art that was submitted for this contest. We had almost 100 student
submissions from throughout the City! Our judges had the tough job of choosing
only 4 winners. It’s clear that there is a lot of talent and creativity in our
schools.
The judging
team included City of Burnaby staff (a Social Planner, a Community Arts
Programmer, a Communications expert, my assistants) and me! We judged everyone’s
work on how well it related to the theme, the level of creativity and the
overall quality.
These four girls in front of me exceeded
all of my expectations. Their work really stood out. And best of all, their art
put a smile on my face and reminded me of everything that I, too, love about
Burnaby.
I am very pleased to recognize each of
them individually and their work in front of their families, City Council and
staff this evening. To further celebrate their hard work and artistic skills, I
have some prizes for each of them. Their art will also be mentioned in the
summer issue of InfoBurnaby and on the City of Burnaby’s website and social
media.”
Mayor Corrigan acknowledged
that Mr. Blancard had withdrawn his delegation request due to illness, but had
conveyed concerns to Council regarding: parking on Highland Drive including a
request for resident only parking restrictions, senior citizen Home Owner
Grant, and bi-weekly garbage pickup. The Mayor and staff will respond to Mr.
Blancard’s concerns.
