Olympic By-laws coming back to city council
As the only two city councilors to vote against the Olympic by-law changes passed by city council and now in front of the legislature, COPE Councillors Ellen Woodsworth and David Cadman are pleased that council will have another chance to look at the laws.

The by-laws, which have been under intense scrutiny from organizations like the BC Civil Liberties Association over concerns around freedom of speech, are currently in front of the legislature to give the City more power to deal with Olympic sponsorship agreement infringements.

COPE School Trustee brings motion on International Day for Climate Action
Last
night, at the Vancouver Board of Education, COPE School Trustee, Jane
Bouey, brought a motion recognizing the International Day for Climate
Action (Oct 24).
"Climate Change is the most urgent issue
facing our planet", says Bouey. "It is easy to feel helpless when
facing such an overwhelming danger. The International Day for Climate
Action (October 24) is a day when the Vancouver School Board can join
millions of people around the world to demand real climate action."

COPE to hold “traveling neighbourhood offices” to develop policy on local democracy
Starting
this month, COPE will begin to develop policy that could see voters
have another say at whether the city needs to change the at-large
municipal voting system.
COPE electeds and executive members will be visiting the 14 ward neighbourhoods (as recommended in the 2003 electoral reform commission) to ask residents what form of voting or other civic engagement would best represent their communities.
