Thank you. Sounds good working. Okay, welcome everybody. I'm going to call to order this regular council meeting for Monday, July 13, 2026. We begin our meetings in New Westminster by recognizing and respecting that New Westminster is on the unceded and unsur rendered land of the Halcomelum speaking peoples. We acknowledge that colonialism has made invisible their histories and their connections to the land. And as a city, we are learning and we are building relationships with the people whose lands we're on. First item on the agenda is approval of the agenda as it was circulated to council. Good and seconded. All in favor? All opposed? Carried? And then we move on right away to delegations. So in New Westminster, we allow folks to delegate to council. We have a full sign-up sheet of people today to delegate to council. It's a chance for anybody to come and speak for five minutes to council about issues that are important to them. We just ask folks when they are invited to come when they 're called to come forward to the desk up here and speak to one of the microphones in front of you. There'll be your little red lights there that I'll turn on so that folks can hear you. We just ask that, remind folks that, first of all, that, yeah, if you, after your delegation, council members may ask you questions. Or council members may direct questions to members of staff . However, you're not in any way compelled to answer those questions. It's not a matter of a dialogue or you're not h …

Council Workshop

Council reviews Strategic Priorities Plan and Crises Response Pilot Project

Council is reviewing a final status report on the Strategic Priorities Plan adopted in May 2023. The body is also discussing an independent evaluation of the Crises Response Pilot Project and recommendations for its implementation.

✓ Decided: Council receives strategic plan final report, directs crisis response follow-up

Council received the final 2023-2026 Council Strategic Priorities Plan report for information and directed staff to report back on implementing all recommendations from the Round Two Independent Evaluation of the Crisis Response Pilot Project by December 2026. A point of order raised by Councillor Campbell during the crisis response discussion was ruled invalid by the Chair, and the Chair's ruling was sustained on a vote. The meeting was otherwise procedural, including approval of the agenda and adoption of prior minutes.

Good afternoon, everybody. I will call to order the Council workshop meeting of Monday, July 6, 2026. In New Westminster, we start by recognizing and respecting that New Westminster is on the unseated and unsurrendered land of the Halkamalem-speaking peoples. We acknowledge that colonialism has made invisible their histories and connections to the land. As a city, we are learning and building relationships with the peoples whose lands we are on. May I get a motion to approve the agenda, please? All those in favor? Carried. May I get a motion to adopt the minutes of regular Council for workshop meeting held on June 15, 2026. You'll need to unlock your iPhone first. Sorry. All those in favor? Carried. Number 4.1, Council's strategic priorities plan. Final report. It's a presentation by staff by Lisa LaBlong. I'm pleased to introduce this item and all of the people who have contributed to it. So this is the final report on Council's strategic priorities plan. You'll recall that we have reported five times prior to this as we progressed through the strategic plan. This report is a culmination of all of the work that staff has done under the banner of the strategic plan. At the table with me today are the leads for the five strategic priorities. We're short one person and I'll explain that in a minute. So the leads for the five strategic priorities are Rupinder Bassey for Homes and Housing. Rupinder is the Deputy Director of Planning. Jen Arbo is representing two priorities: the C …

✓ Decided: Council accepts ethics report, orders apology to Councillor Fontaine

Council accepted the Ethics Commissioner's Investigation Report dated May 29, 2026, and ordered the respondent to remove the offending social media post and issue a formal apology to Councillor Fontaine. The motion carried after discussion.

All of our emails are posted on the city's website. With that, may I get a motion to approve the agenda? A seconder? Thank you. All those in favor? Opposed? Carried.
