COUNCILLOR INQUIRIES

 

3.1

Bullying Bylaw Effectiveness (B. Henderson)

 

 

 

 

I am interested in receiving a report back on the effectiveness of our current bullying bylaw. 

I understand that one of the current limitations of the way the bylaw is being interpreted is that it is only being considered bullying if there is evidence of “repeated acts” of bullying. The problem in the bylaw may centre on what qualifies as a “repeated act of bullying?” A common tactic of a bully is to move from victim to victim, thus under the current bylaw, they could never be charged with an offense. This presents a challenge for effective enforcement and the bylaws intention to serve as a deterrent. 

There are also limitations around the age of the victim as defined in the bylaw.  In light of this, I would like to know:

1.)  Under what circumstances is the bylaw currently being enforced?

2.)  How many times has the bullying bylaw been used since its inception?

3.)  What changes could be made to make it more effective and applicable?

4.)  Could the focus of the bylaw be on the severity of the incident, rather than a focus on the need for the bullying to be of a repetitive nature?

5.)  Why does the bullying bylaw only target minors (those under 18)? What impact does this age limitation have on the actual intent of the bylaw and by extension what victims can seek recourse or protection? We know, bullying knows no age boundaries.?

6.)  As written, the bylaw speaks to “public spaces,” could this bylaw be revised to be more effective in public spaces such as transit as a more effective deterrent to inappropriate behavior or conduct?

7.)  How does our current bylaw reflect the proposed changes in the Education Act particularly around issues of cyber bullying (social media) and age?

8.)  Can the bullying bylaw be linked to the work of the community mediation and restorative justice centre?

75th Street Ring Road Status (B. Henderson)

 

 

 

 

In the 1999 Transportation Master Plan, 75th Street was confirmed as the eastern leg of the inner ring road.  This was reconfirmed in the Way We Move plan in 2009.

1. What is the current status of planning for the 75th Street ring road?

2. What are the current impediments to allowing straight through access for trucks for the southern length of 75th Street and what mechanisms and processes are available to remove those impediments?

3. How do the restrictions on 75th Street affect truck traffic on 99th Street?

Please return to Transportation and Infrastructure Committee as soon as possible.
