[email protected] Vancouver, Be V6C OB3 www.teck.com It, genda :::: A F'LE#OIlft,O~avlf~D l. w 593 leck September 20, 2012 Her Worship Lois Jackson Mayor of Delta 4500 Clarence Taylor Crescent Delta, British Columbia V 4K 3E2 Dear Mayor Jackson, On behalf of Teck, I would like to share with you the details of the launch of our social media campaign that will coincide with Free the Children's We Day events across Canada. We Day is Free The Children's annual youth empowerment event that motivates young people to take action on local and global issues. Over 20,000 youth and educators attend the event, and thousands more participate from their school gymnasiums via live webcast. Key presenters include AI Gore, Mikhail Gorbachev and the Honorable Romeo A. Dallaire. During this year's We Day events, our One Tweet, One Life Twitter campaign will provide the public with the opportunity to help save a child's life while raising awareness about the devastating effects of zinc deficiency. You can playa role with one simple tweet. Here is how Teck's One Tweet, One Life We Day Twitter campaign works: • For every retweet of the @ZincSavesLives 'We Day' message sent out during We Day events, Teck will donate $0.50 to Zinc Saves Kids, which supports UNICEF programs that provide life-saving zinc treatments. • A $0.50 donation provides enough zinc tablets and oral rehydration salts to treat a case of acute diarrhea and save a child's life. I encourage you to follow @ZincSavesLives on Twitter and retweet our We Day message to help raise awareness about zinc deficiency and ultimately save children's lives. Our campaign will coincide with We Day in Toronto (September 28), Vancouver (October 18), Alberta (October 24), Montreal (November 20), and Ottawa (April 29, 2013). Every year over 450,000 children are at risk of dying from disorders related to zinc deficiency, and many more suffer impaired growth and brain development. A simple treatment including zinc and oral rehydration salts can mean the difference between life and death. As one of the world's largest producers of zinc, Teck recognizes that we have the ability to make a difference. This initiative builds on our existing Zinc and Health program which includes partnerships with UNICEF, Free the Children, the Micronutrient Initiative, BASF, the Government of Canada and other organizations. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you are interested in discussing any of these initiatives in greater detail. You can also visit www.zincsaveslives.com for more information. We hope that you will help us reach out to your online followers and spread a message that can help save a child's life. This is provided for Council's information. Free the Children's We Day ';:t;iV will be held on October 18, 2012 in Vancouver.

I deeply believe in the ideals of the UN, which I believe are about caring for people. Delta embodies this ideal for me; I moved to North Delta 13 years ago when my daughter was born. Delta has become a real community for my family; the schools have opened doors for my daughter, the neighbourhoods have included me in various events and I feel proud to be living in Delta. With the attachments (3) in this email, I am requesting that the Delta City Council recognize the work of the United Nations in the world, and the overall good effect on Canada and Canadians. This recognition can take the form of a proclamation by Council recognizing UN Day, and possibly one or two of the recognized 'International Years'. This year happens to be the International Year of Co-operatives, and of Energy. Please read the attached letter to you explaining in more detail my request. In addition, please find sample proclamations which the Council could make in time for UN Day on October 24th, 2012. Thank you and regards, On August 15, 2000, Council Deirdre Moore adopted a recommendation Secretary, UN Assoc. in Cda - Vcr which has discontinued the email: [email protected] cell: 778-855-8193 practice of making proclamations.
