    April 27, 2009 TO: All Central Council Delegates RE: PRESIDENT’S REPORT Greetings: Listed below please find a review of some of the key issues our Local has dealt with since our last Central Council meeting. 1. “Positively Public” Campaign - Update More workplace meetings are being planned to help promote and inform our members about the campaign. Please contact the office to arrange a meeting date and time if your workplace has not yet been visited. You can expect to see bus and billboard advertising starting the week of May 18.

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.

City of Winnipeg Park Police On March 19, the City’s Executive Policy Committee (EPC) of Council did not concur in the recommendation of the Standing Policy Committee on Infrastructure Renewal and Public Works to retain the current Park Police model.
