Well, good evening. I'd like to call the regular Monday, June 29th Langley City Council meeting to order, and start us off in a good way by acknowledging that we are on the unceded and traditional territories of the Katzie, Kwantlen, Mathkawire, and Semiahmoo First Nations. Uh, we have an agenda in front of us. I will move it. Is there a seconder? It's seconded by Councillor Whyte. Any changes, amendments? So seeing none, I'll call the question. All those in favor? Opposed? So there's none opposed, so that's carried. So I'll move that we commence the committee of the whole, seconded by Councillor Mack. Further discussion? Seeing none, I'll call the question. All those in favor? Any opposed? So that's carried unanimously. Uh, this is the opportunity for input on the 2025 annual report, which is statutory. So I'd just like to ask Ms. Kenney if our notice requirements were met with respect to the 2025 annual report, and if there was any correspondence received. Uh, Mr. Mayor, uh, the statutory notice requirements were met, and no correspondence has been received. Thank you. Uh, is there anybody in attendance tonight that would like to speak to the annual report? And I am seeing that nobody is, uh, so I'll ask a second time, and then a third and final time. Okay, so that concludes the public input opportunity. Uh, any questions or comments from council? Councillor Whyte. Thank you, Mayor Bhall. Um, yeah, just a couple comments on the financial report. Um, it's positive overall, I think, um, a net positive result of 27 million, and I appreciate that, as I think most people do. Um, I appreciate, again, the conservative of approach that, uh, is taken to our budgeting process. And, um, uh, I think at the end of the year when we evaluate it, y- we can, um, ask ourselves w- what can we learn from it? And so for me, there's two things. Uh, what did we do well? And, uh, that is, speaks to the efficiencies gained, um, why savings. Uh, there's always grants and interest rates that come in. The other, of course, is what could we do better? And, uh, sometimes that's a little harder to find when we have as positive a result as what we do, but I think, uh, it's always there for us to glean. Um, my one concern that I have in, um, the financial, uh, result that we have was, uh, regarding vacancies. And I brought this up, uh, addressed this last year, and, uh, spoke to it, uh, during our 2026 budget, and, um, was, for me, a, a major concern for, uh, ensuring that, um, we support our HR with better resources so that they can adequately address the vacancy challenges that we have. Um, one of the calculations that I did when I was reviewing it, on Schedule 2, it shows that, uh, we had $1.9 million, um, uh, due to s- savings, um, from vacancies. And so this is always a challenge. Uh, I think, um, the vacancies is, is not new. It's, was one of the biggest challenges coming out of COVID, was, um, just the impact that it had on vacancies and, um, being able to hire for new positions. Um, that being said, um, residents paid 6.7% property tax increase in 2025, and that translated to a $2.7, uh, million increase. And so when I take the $1.9 million that were a result of vacancy savings, roughly, that's 70% of the total 2025, uh, tax increase. And that, to me, just when I put it in context in that way, uh, th- that encourages me to go, "You know, this is something that we need to do better on," because right now, that 70 cents of every dollar collected from that tax increase came from positions that were never filled. And so, uh, for me, that's something going forward, uh, just we need to continue to address and work on. Um, but as a whole, I think, uh, a very positive and a positive result. Thank you. Uh, thank you. Uh, any other comments? Councillor Albrecht. Uh, thank you, Mr. Mayor. And, and I just wanna thank staff for all the hard work. Um, the, uh, the list of accomplishments in this report, uh, that we've done, um, is phenomenal, and I, I thank Councillor Whyte for bringing up the, uh, the staffing, um, shortfall and how we need to, uh, continue to address that and support staff. Uh, they do a ph- a phenomenal job for us, and, uh, uh, we need to be proud of what we've accomplished here. So I just wanted to give my gratitude. Thank you. Thank you. Uh, so I'm not seeing any other comments. Uh, I'll just add a final note. I know we shifted. This is the 2025 report. So in 2026, whoever the new council may be, I know we shifted our budget cycle, um, almost a quarter earlier, uh, in a direct result of some of the staffing vacancy challenges so we can get that hiring done earlier in the year. So I look forward to seeing those results, um, in the next annual report. So I will move that we rise and report. Is there a seconder? Seconded by Councillor Wallace. I'll call the question. All those in favor? Opposed? So there's none opposed, so that's carried unanimously. So that moves us on to the business arising. And so the business arising is that council approves the 2025 annual report. I'll get a seconder. Seconded by Councillor Whyte. Further comments? So seeing none, I'll call the question. All those in favor? Any opposed? So that's carried unanimously. Uh, so we are now on the consent agenda. Would- Oh, before we do that, I just got a note, um, from Councillor James. Uh, is your audio and everything okay? I think so, Mr. Mayor. Okay. I just, everybody was frozen for a sec, but I think I'm okay. Okay, thank you so much. So we're at the consent agenda. Would anybody like to remove anything from it? Okay, so looks like not. Uh, who would like to move the consent agenda? Councillor Albrecht, seconded by Councillor Sollium. Further discussion? So seeing none, I'll call the question. All those in favor? Any opposed? So that's carried unanimously. So that brings us on to delegations. So we have a presentation from the Nicomekl Enhancement Society. I was told that it will be timely, uh, so I will turn it over, uh, to you. [laughs] Thank you. Ah. Okay, well, thanks very much for your time. Um, you had a chance to read the missive, the letter that was, uh, sent to you. Uh, you've memorized it, uh, wholeheartedly, so this'll be a quick presentation. On my right is Angela Cowling. She's a teacher at HD Stafford School. She is a driving force behind this project, and, um, she's very interested in the biodiversity, ecosystem, and salmon enhancement of Pleasantdale Creek. Okay, now, um, page, page down. Down here. Okay. Um, I'm not gonna go through all of this, but I direct your attention to item number 15, communication. What we, what request, want ASAP from this committee, council, within 30 days, is a letter directing us to make a separate presentation to the environment committee, a separate presentation to the parks department, and a separate presentation to engineering. This is, all three, uh, departments, env- environmental committees are very, very de- uh, interested in helping us, and we'd like to bring them on board. Now, we've also, when, with any project, there's also some financing, so for Mr. Chung and his department, we've thrown in some money where we're gonna try and get, raise some money on our own, but we do require probably a budget. Okay, so Pleasantdale Creek, the headwaters is at the, um... Well, i- it's probably an underground aquifer. Uh, the headwaters is up at the, um, landfill site under the power lines. Goes all the way down to, essentially, to, uh, near Portage, uh, Park. We've had salmon, uh, all the way from Nicomekl River all the way up to Grade Crescent. Beyond Grade Crescent, I don't think anybody's ever seen any salmon. Our main emphasis this year is from the Nicomekl River up to Grade Crescent. Okay, one of the major things that we've noticed down there, and where this lovely lady is, happens to be my wife, is where we want to put the sign that, um, council passed on May, May 11th. We're waiting for that sign to be, um, constructed and erected. But notice the leaning tree behind her. This tree is a liability. That tree is going to come down, and it's gonna injure somebody. This tree has to be removed ASAP, and one of the councilors was there when we did a salmon release. Um, as you know, there's lots of signs around about Pleasantdale Creek, so this is nothing new. We're wanting to take it one step further and help the poor salmon, um, proliferate up into the creek. Okay, this is directly to a presentation to engineering department. The drainage from Grade Crescent goes directly through that pipe on the right into, um, Pleasantdale Creek. Um, fish do not like any of the pollution that's coming down there. There are solutions in which, how we can deal with the runoff water. This is extremely important. This is a major, major problem we have to address with engineering. Okay, the headwaters, this is where water quality comes in very important into the salmon. They don't really like a lot of metals into the water or anything high-temperature, pH. Uh, water quality is extremely important upon that. This is one of the things that parks and engineering, we have to, um, really emphasize into that. Okay, right at the headwa- at the mouth where Nicomekl River and Pleasantdale Creek, there's a few branches. Well, at, uh, high water, salmon can get up there. At low water, salmon have a devil of a time trying to maneuver in amongst all those branches. This is where the parks department has to come down there and remove that. Um, it doesn't take much effort. It's not gonna take a lot of time and cost, but that needs to be done. Remember, the salmon start coming up to visit us in probably late September, early October. We have to be prepared. Okay, now, there is some bank erosion. Now, one of the things, uh, that I should emphasize is part of Pleasantdale Creek resides on school property. Majority of it resides on Langley city property. So it's a combination of having to deal with this, and this lady on my right is, uh, with the school, and she's having to deal with them. So, um, we have a, uh, a person here to help us out. But that bank needs to be, uh, looked after. This is where the parks department really needs our, uh, we need to help, have their help, as well as the Nicomekl Enhancement Society, uh, will give us some direction upon this Okay, what we really want to develop this year down where we release the salmon is a spawning area. This is an example. This is up at the Nicomekl Hatchery. This is a spawning area. Remember, when Angela releases her chum from the school, they stay in this r- creek for up to a year. They need a place to kind of, you know, grow and feed. Um, so we need to create a spawning area. When we release the chum, they, they stick around for a few hours, and they're gone. Uh, they, they're not interested in spending a lot of time in Pleasantdale Creek. Coho do. We need to develop this, uh, spawning area, probably two spawning areas. We need the city t- uh, uh, park and work department to help us on this. Whoops. Where are we going here? [laughs] [laughs] Uh- Oh, that's interesting. Oh. Oh. Okay. We're getting all excited here. Okay. Yeah. Now, now this is where I'm gonna turn it over to, uh, Angela, and she can direct you as to what's happening here and how she's involved with the school and Pleasantdale Creek. Hi. Um, so I am Angela. Um, I am an exploration teacher at HD Stafford. I, I teach what is called OASES, O-A-C-E-S, stands for Outdoor Aboriginal Community and Environmental Studies. I have 800 students. [laughs] Um, every single student from Stafford comes through me, um, as an exploration teacher. Uh, the grade sevens and grade eights actually get out on the land, and we do some stewardsh- stewardship work. Um, I teach them about invasive species and, uh, that particular area is, was loaded with blackberry. Um, and we've gone through and removed, um, a l- very large swath over the year with, uh, uh, LEPS's help. Um, the kids are excited about it a lot of times. It's their first time doing physical labor work. Uh, some of them never wanna do it ever again. Other, [laughs] others really love it. It's like the best part of the program is like when they actually get to get involved. Um, the, the tree that we talked about that needs to come down, um, I have my students that they do journaling in that area, and I have to talk to them always. I'm like, "Do not go under that tree." [laughs] And, and it is really a liability in that area. Um, again, also where Bruce had talked about, um, the sign is gonna be going up there for the salmon cycle. Um, and then that's also where we do a major salmon release in that zone, and we're talking about 1,000 chum that get released. And I, uh, the kids basically do a bucket brigade, and trying to get them to stay away from one tree kind of gets a little bit sketchy at times. Um, after every single windstorm, I keep going and visiting. I'm like, "Is it down yet? Is it down yet?" [laughs] And yeah. Um, just trying to think what else. We are gonna be planting, um, some native species in that blackberry zone. Um, Bruce, myself, somebody from the DFO, we did a big walk-through of the area. They were showing us... Or the, our, our DFO rep, he was r- um, showing us the area where we can still do more blackberry release. But we are basically teaching the kids how to be stewards of this entire stretch and at least the school zone. But there are, like, little bits that we still go for walks that are in city zone, which, yeah, picking up litter and whatever else. Uh, it, overall it's a great program. Since, um, OASIS got started, uh, just over 10 years ago, we've noticed a major decrease in graffiti, like, on the trees. Um, yes, it's middle schoolers zone. It still does happen. There is still litter, but we also d- I also have a lot of kids that are just randomly picking up. It's like they're starting to really care, and that's, the impact is happening. So I think that's it. I just wanted to mention, Paul, I have worked with your wife, [laughs] so that's that. [laughs] So that's our brief presentation. Um, one of the big things I've noticed from this city and council is this word communications. Uh, hopefully that doesn't become an election issue. But, um, we are looking for a letter from you, from the council directing us, and, uh, what we need to do within this letter is emphasize ASAP, uh, to present to the environment committee, to the parks department, operations, as well as to city engineering. Okay, that's, um, what we need. Um, we're open to any questions or anything like this. You gotta remember, this is a, um, a project between the Nicomekl Enhancement Society, LEPS, Langley City, and HD Stafford School. So there's a lot of people involved, uh, within this project, and it's probably the only project within the city that has all those components in it, and we can make this a salmon-bearing creek within the Langley City. Thank you. Thank you so much. Uh, so I can let you know first off that staff is well aware of the tree, and so that's already being looked at, so no worries on that front. Uh, Councillor Mak and then Councillor Ross. Uh, thank you, Mayor Bhalla. I just wanted to thank you for your presentation. I know that some of, um, these topics we've discussed, um, most recently when last released chum. Um, but I did wanna refer, um, this delegation to staff to ensure that we do get that response on your 30-day timeline. Um, so I would like to respo- or refer this at delegation to staff so that council can get an update, uh, presentation with respect to costs and mitigating ac- efforts and next steps, um, to address the concerns within the delegation. Uh, thank you. Did you wanna wait just one second for that? And there might be some questions first- Sure. Yeah, yeah. No problem ... and then we can go through that process. Councilor Wallace? Um, thank you, and through the mayor, thank you for your presentation and your continued passion in stewarding the Earth and the environment, Bruce. And Angela, thank you so much. It's so, it's so good to partner with the school district in this way, and I know that, uh, um, that area is a precious area for students. It's, it's actually a large ecosystem area, so, um, I know that the students spend a lot of time there, and I've noticed that the garbage has been lessened, and, and the care for that, that land has been something that is noticeable. Um, so Bruce, you did... You said in your presentation you have direct directives for us in the sense of presentations done to, um, uh, the Environmental Sustainability c- committee, and then you have one to the, um, Parks and Environment committee. It- that's two, and what's the third one? Uh, engineering. Engineering. Engineering for Grade Crescent, uh, on the release of the drainage water from, um, Grade Crescent right into the creek. That, that water is, can be- Right ... very, very detrimental to any salmon. So, so us having to put in, you know, 1,000 or 1,100 chum, and then, um, Angela's putting in up to 50 coho from her school- Right ... uh, that water can kind of kill them lickety-split. Right. So is that one... So would that be one department? Parks, Engineering, and Environment? Is that one- Uh, Engineer- Or would these- It's one department. Yeah. So, yes. Uh- So you might only have to do two presentations then, 'cause it's- Oh, we can make lots of presentations. I mean- Maybe we have one director ... we, in that letter, we have- Yeah ... lots of ammunition. We, we have one director, so I was just- Yeah ... gonna suggest that maybe- We'll, we'll- ... that, that be, um- We'll, we'll meet. Yes ... so I- um, in the sense of directing, um, that- that's what your ask was. Yeah. And I, I don't see- Yeah ... a problem with that ask. And, uh, we do have... Langley Environmental Partnership is a member, and, uh, Lisa Dreyfus, as you- Yeah ... well, are, are well aware of, she's also part of the f- uh, field naturalist as well. So- Yeah ... um, yeah, just, uh, thank you for your presentation, and, uh, thank you for all your work, Angela, you and your students, um, for the work done on the signage. Thank you. Thanks. Uh, thank you. Councilor Albrecht? Uh, one thing in the letter, um, if you can, uh, uh, when we make a presentation, we need a person of contact for each of these, um, um, the environment, the, the, the parks, and the engineering, so somebody we can contact directly. Absolutely. Uh, Councilor Albrecht? Yeah. Uh, thank you, Mr. Mayor, and thanks, Bruce and Angela, for the presentation. Really appreciate it. Um, the, uh, the next, uh, Environmental Sustainability committee is July 9th, so- July, July 9th? July 9th. Oh, we'll, we'll be there. I won't. Oh, well, I'll be there. [laughs] I'm on a plane going to Yukon. So, um- [laughs] ... fortunately, I chair that with, uh, Rosemary Wallace, uh, Councilor Wallace here, so, uh, we'll make sure that's put on the agenda. Uh, just- And, and we can get that, uh, contact information- Yeah ... uh, shared. Okay. Okay? Thanks. So we'll take care of that. Uh, I'm definitely gonna, uh, move to have this report referred to the committee so that they've got it ahead of time, and we can have that conversation. Um, this is fantastic work. One question I had, um, when you're walking with DFO on that, uh, on the, on the- Yeah ... creek, did you identify any specific locations for this, um, um, spawning area? Yes, yes. We have two locations for the spawning area. Yeah, okay. So- One of them where we released the sign- Yeah ... on the, uh, on, uh, north side of 49A, and on the south side of 49A, there's another area- Okay ... uh, we can create a spawning. What we need to put there is some spawning gravel. Right. And- Right ... we have to bring you in. That's for the Parks Department. We need them. Yep. The Nicomekl, uh, Enhancement Society will help us, sort of, "This is where you need to put it. This is what, what, what will help." Okay. But it's, it's together with them. Yeah. And, and it's another thing to make sure that DFO is okay with us doing that kind of work in that creek at that time. They are. Yeah. They, yeah. So those are all things that we need to make sure from a, from a staff, from a city, from a- Yeah ... a liability perspective 'cause we don't wanna get ourselves in trouble with DFO. The- So- The one thing I would wanna add is that for the salmon, there's a window that we gotta work with. Yeah, exactly. So the window, I believe, is, um... [sighs] We have that information. You've got that? Yes. Okay. So it's roughly until the second week of September. Yes. Yeah. Which w- yeah. So it's gonna be fun for me because the very first week of September, it's a late start to the school year. I've got- Yeah ... one day where I get to introduce with my students, and the second day that I have them, I'm gonna be out in the, in the creek doing a bunch of work. Great. So yeah, uh, we m- you know, um, whether we can get everything all done before September, we may have to do some priorities and, and say- Yeah ... "Okay, we'll have to park one thing or another thing based on either cost or timing," uh, you know, or, or just even man, manpower and equipment in order to get it done. So I look forward to, uh, seeing you on our, at our July meeting. That's, uh, 6:00 PM. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So, um, we have two motions, I think. Maybe if Councilor Mack wanted to move hers and also include the referral of the, um, setting up the meetings with the director, that might be good to do those just together, and then, uh, Councilor Albrecht or Wallace can move the one with the referral to the committee, their committee- Yes ... if you would like. Certainly. So, um, I don't know if staff had the wording of the original motion written downUm, but I think something to the effect of that move to, um, refer the presentation to staff, um, so that the applicant... or the, the del- the delegate rather, sorry, um, can connect with the director of parks, um, engineering, recreation. Perfect. So I'll second that. Uh, is there further discussion on that motion? So seeing none, we'll call the question. All those in favor? Opposed? So that's unanimous for that, and then Councilor Albrecht or Wallace. Yeah. We're, we're, we are proud to, um, uh, refer this detailed report, and I thank you for this work. It, it saves a lot of time and energy, uh, to the environment committee for processing. So is there a seconder? So seconded by Councilor Wallace. Further discussion? Councilor Wallace. Um, through the mayor, and maybe not on... I guess I wanted to ask a question and a suggestion to Angela because she's speaking about, um, or do I speak after we vote? So we're, we're speaking on the motion right now. Okay. So, uh- Can I ask that question? ... you can ask that afterwards though- Okay ... if that works. Yep, that works. Cool. Uh, anything further on the motion? So I'll call the question on that. All those in favor? Opposed? So that's carried unanimously. Uh, Councilor Wallace. Uh, thank you, Mayor Pahal. Um, just wanted to say that [laughs] the beginning of school is really busy. We have a pretty eager, um, environmental sustainability committee, and if, uh, there was a n- w- if there was need for volunteers, um, we could put that forward to maybe when Bruce comes and does that presentation, we can ask. I'm sure you'll get some volunteers. I just wanted to make that suggestion. That's awesome. Um, I am in a lot of contact with Lisa. Lisa is, uh, helping me out with the blackberry removal. She's amazing. Um, and she knows what the, the grand plan is as well. Um, I'm gonna be away in that 30-day period. Um, I'm going to two different locations, um, to learn about climate change. Uh, Yukon is one of them, and then I'm going to Fiji. [laughs] So, um, but it's all about climate change and how the two zones are, uh, being highly affected. Um, and then I'm bringing that back to the classroom. [laughs] So. Well, thank you so much. I'll be going to Yukon. So, uh, I... thank you so much for your presentation today. Uh, we look forward to being in touch. Uh, you're more than welcome to stay around. 30, 30 days. You will get it. Yes. [laughs] Absolutely. So July 9th you'll be at the meeting. [laughs] Okay. Thank you so much. Thank you. It was good, uh, from both of you. So with that, uh, we'll move on to our next council meetings, which is July 13th, followed by July 27th. Council advisory body updates, do we have any? Councilor Wallace. Thank you. Through the mayor, I just wanted to, um, let everybody know about the reading, summer reading program that is happening in our library, and it's happening for all ages. So you can go downstairs and get your passports, and every month you fill them out, and you can, uh, put them in for draw prizes, and at the end of, end of summer, uh, children are awarded with medals for their participation in the reading program. And another added, um, piece this year is, uh, the adult one. So we have an adult passport one as well. So you read 49 consecutive days, and you, you stamp all your, uh, days, and then you can enter to win a prize. So just wanted to let ev- everybody know about that. So happy summer reading, everybody. Thank you very much. Councilor Albrecht. Uh, thank you, Mr. Mayor, and, and at first I wasn't gonna report this, but I, I think I'm going to 'cause it's really important. Uh, this past week we had, uh, the opportunity to unveil a new mural here at City Hall. It's on the north side, and it has to do with, uh, uh, community safety and awareness. Um, it was a cooperative effort between our, uh, our crime prevention committee and the, uh, arch- or the... our Arts, Recreation, Culture & Heritage committees. Um, it was a, um, uh, the artist was local, from Langley City, and with the help from her father, who is a long, long mem- member and citizen of our, our community. Uh, but what was really, um, the news that I wanted to report was, uh, the driving force or the creator or the inst- uh, the initiative was, um, brought forward by a member of our, um, uh, c- uh, Community Safety Awareness Committee, and his name is Brian Doyle. And, um, before we... he got to see it, he passed away. So it's one of those things that I, uh, it's kind of a legacy, uh, project or, or, um, initiative that, uh, he really championed, and it's something that I think is worth, um, putting out there, noting, and having on the record so that he and his family, uh, can, uh, share that, or his family can share in that, um, legacy that he has provided our city. So, uh, just wanted to bring that to the community a- and raise that awareness. Thank you. Thank you so much. Uh, is there any other updates? So seeing none, uh, we're onto bylaws. So the one bylaw, that the bylaw cited as Election and Assent Voting Procedure By-law 2014, number 2942, Amendment Number 3, 2026, number 3341, be read a final time. Moved by Councilor White, seconded by Councilor Albrecht. Further discussion? Seeing none, I'll call the question. All those in favor? Opposed? So none opposed, so that's carried. Uh, so that's onto the tender of, uh, storm sewer improvements on 55 A Avenue to Michaud Crescent. So the recommendation is- Uh, that T2026-01 201 Street storm sewer improvements from 55A Avenue to Michaud Crescent be awarded to Blackline Site Works Limited for the tendered amount of $789,329.13 including GST. That ISL Engineering and Land Services be appointed to undertake the construction support services for $49,768 excluding GST, and that a contingency allowance of 85,000 be approved to be used only for unforeseen issues, and that the Director of Engineering, Parks, and the Environment and the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contract for the document tender T2026-011 201 Street storm sewer improvement proc- um, improvements. I'll move that. Seconded by Councillor Mac. Further discussion? So seeing none, I'll call the question. All those in favor? Opposed? So that's carried unanimously. Uh, we do have OIC Harm here- uh, Dosanjh, sorry, OIC Dosanjh here from the Langley detachment if there's any questions. Uh, but we do have a recommendation, which is, uh, pretty standard this time of year, that council authorize a letter to a proven principle to be sent to the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General to increase the 2027-28 detachment strength by two members to 58.35 members and increase 100% municipal police budget in principle for 2027 through '28 to $18,650,724. Is there a mover and seconder? Moved by Councillor White, seconded by Councillor Albrecht. Further discussion? So seeing none, I'll call the question. All those in favor? Any opposed? So there's none opposed, so that's carried unanimously. On to council remuneration and statements of financial information. This is annual, uh, legislative reporting, uh, that the report of council remuneration and expenses as required by Section 168 of the Community Charter be adopted, and that the statement of financial information as required by the Financial Information Act be adopted. I'll move that. Is there a seconder? Seconded by Councillor Sollium. Further discussion? So seeing none, I'll call the question. All those in favor? Opposed? So that's carried unanimously. On to out-of-province travel request, that council approve the Manager of Communications and Public Engagement to attend the Municipal Communication Conference in Toronto, Ontario, November 30th through December 2nd, 2026. Is there a mover and seconder? Moved by Councillor Wallace, seconded by Councillor Albrecht. Further discussion? So seeing none, I'll call the question. All those in favor? Opposed? So that's carried unanimously. And on to a motion from myself that council direct the mayor to write a letter to the provincial Minister of Transportation and Transit requesting that the province of British Columbia expand the eligibility requirements for the BC Bus Pass program to include low-income households in Metro Vancouver. Is there a seconder? Councillor Wallace. Further discussion? So seeing none, I'll call the question. All those in favor? Opposed? So that's carried unanimously, so that moves us to the end of the meeting. I will move we adjourn. Seconded by Councillor James. Why not? I'll call the question. All those in favor? Opposed? We're adjourned. Thank you so much.
