Background In September 2020 Council approved the attached Flag Protocol Policy (Appendix “A”). One of the policy parameters set by Council resolution was that flags or banners would be flown on the courtesy pole for one (1)week. Current Status: The Village has received a letter (Correspondence 12i) from a local resident requesting that the Pride Flag be flown for the month of June. Analysis: The Flag Protocol Policy Parameters were adopted by resolution and Council may diverge from the policy by resolution. Options: Several options have been developed: Option One (1) Follow the policy as it is written. Option Two (2) Diverge from the policy by adopting a resolution allowing the flag to be flown on a one-time basis for the month of June. Option Three (3) Modify the policy by allowing changing the parameter to one that states that Courtesy Flags may be flown for up to a month unless there is competing interest(s); and if there are competing interests, each interest will receive an equal portion of time during which their flag will be flown. Option Four (4) Modify the policy by adding a parameter that the Pride Flag will be flown for the month of June.

Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship [email protected] The Hon. Patty Hajdu, P.C., M.P. Minister of Health [email protected] The Hon. Bill Blair, P.C., M.P. Minister of Public Safety [email protected] Dear Prime Minister Trudeau and Ministers Mendicino, Hajdu, and Blair, I’m writing to express Mennonite Central Committee Canada’s concern about the continued lack of travel possibilities for refugees to resettle to Canada. Currently, only those refugees with a permanent residence visa issued before pandemic travel restrictions were introduced in March 2020 are being admitted. There are more than 25 million refugees globally. Resettlement has been a small but important tool to provide a durable solution for some of these refugees and we encourage Canada to continue to play a leadership role in resettlement. As the first organization to sign a Sponsorship Agreement in March 1979, MCC is proud to be a part of that work. Since 1979 we have helped resettle more than 12,500 refugees in many communities across Canada. Last March, when arrivals of refugees were cut to almost none, it was devastating for the many sponsors we work with. In 2020, MCC welcomed 118 refugees through Privately Sponsored Refugee (PSR) and Blended Visa Office Referred (BVOR) programs. That is only 20% of the number we resettled the previous year. We encourage the Canadian government to resume issuing visas for refugees approved for resettlement in Canada.

Also, Trudeau will not likely allow anti-choice MPs to introduce their own bills/motions, or publicly advocate against abortion rights. Therefore, these MPs should not pose any threat, although they should be monitored. Likewise, Liberal MPs not on this 2014 pro-choice list may warrant monitoring to ensure they adhere to the party’s pro-choice policy.
