    COUNCIL of the CITY of WINNIPEG Wednesday, March 20, 2013

    COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WINNIPEG Wednesday, March 20, 2013 The Council met at 9:35 a.m. The Clerk advised the Speaker that a quorum was present. The Speaker called the meeting to order. The opening prayer was read by Councillor Smith. ROLL CALL Clerk: The Speaker Councillor Nordman, His Worship Mayor Katz, Councillors Browaty, Eadie, Fielding, Gerbasi, Havixbeck, Mayes, Orlikow, Pagtakhan, Sharma, Smith, Steen, Swandel, Vandal and Wyatt. INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME OF GUESTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Speaker: Thank you, Visa. We’d like to welcome a guest in the gallery today, lots of media. I’ll call on His Worship Mayor Katz to make a statement, Mr. Mayor. Mayor Katz: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, on March 21, 1960, in Sharpeville, South Africa, a peaceful protest against Apartheid came to a tragic end when police opened fire killing 69 people and wounding many others. In 1966, to commemorate this tragic event and to encourage and promote harmonious race relations, the United Nations declared March the 21st as the International Day for the elimination of racial discrimination. The City of Winnipeg’s model is a Latin phrase, “UNUM CUM VIRTUTE MULTORUM” which means one with the strength of many. We are a multi-cultural mosaic, one of the city’s defying features and the greatest assets. Together we are building relationships and communities, which will in turn create a society that embraces the elimination of racism and prejudice. I urge all citizens to commemorate this day by participating in one of the many events happening across our great city.
