Protocol Items

 

 

Norwood Elementary School (S. Mandel)

 

 

 

Mayor Mandel, on behalf of City Council, welcomed grade 3 students from Norwood Elementary school, and their teacher, W. Groff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day of Pink (K. Leibovici)

 

 

 

Councillor K. Leibovici, on behalf of City Council, recognized April 10th, as the International Day of Pink, which raises awareness against bullying, discrimination and transphobia. People across Edmonton, and around the world, will wear pink to remember that positive actions can make a difference, and each one of us can make a positive change to end bullying. The Day of Pink is more than just a shared belief in celebrating diversity – it is also a commitment to being open-minded, accepting differences and learning to respect each other.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Roadway Maintenance (S. Mandel)

 

 

 

Mayor Mandel, on behalf of City Council, thanked the City of Edmonton's Roadway Maintenance crews and the various contractors for the exceptional job they did this winter caring for city streets - sometimes during very difficult circumstances and weather conditions. From October through April, City crews worked in rotating shifts to provide 24/7 coverage to sand, plow and clear nearly 12,000 km of roads. Their hardwork and dedication helped keep Edmonton streets in safe winter driving conditions and traffic flowing smoothly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poetry Challenge (S. Mandel)

 

 

 

Mayor Mandel, on behalf of City Council, acknowledged the Mayor of Regina's challenge to have a poet from Edmonton read a poem, at the start of a Council meeting in March or April. The purpose of Mayor Fougere's initiative is to recognize UNESCO's World Poetry Day on March 21 and Poetry Month in April. Poet Laureate, A. Marie Stewell, joined by the grade three class from Norwood Elementary school, rose to the challenge to not only read a poem but to compose a poem dedicated to another prairie City - Regina.
