Background Information (City Council)
Motions (City Council)
That Councillor Wong-Tam be permitted to add to the agenda of today's meeting an urgent Motion without Notice concerning:
Deferring Miziwe Biik Aboriginal Employment and Training’s Development Charge at 433 Cherry Street
This Motion is urgent as the Miziwe Biik Aboriginal Employment and Training is a not-for-profit provider of Indigenous-led employment and training services, and this sum is of considerable strain on the operations of this organization. It is urgent that City Council respond and direct city staff to refund the development charges and then to defer as per the legal agreement.
