Bylaw Amendments Tabled/ Notice of CRCAG AGM / Updated Transalta Contact Representative.

Land Use By-law Amendments

The Land Use By-Law Flood Hazard Area Proposed Amendments were tabled for a month at this morning’s City Council Meeting. Councillor Evan Woolley moved to table the amendments in order to seek further consultation with impacted communities. Council supported this motion.

We appreciate the support the flood community councillors demonstrated in response to our concerns. We also appreciate the engagement we had with the Mayor’s Office on this topic. At today’s council meeting the Mayor specifically mentioned the concerns he was hearing from citizens. We look forward to continuing this conversation with Administration and Council over the next few weeks. The matter will come back before Council on June 9, 2014. We will keep membership appraised of this ongoing matter.
