Thank you. Regional Chair Redmond. Present. Councillor Craig. Present. Councillor Erb. Present. Councillor Foxton. Councillor Gowing. Councillor Harris. Councillor Heunick. Councillor James. Councillor Liggett. Councillor McCabe. Councillor Nowak. Councillor Rodriguez. I believe Councillor Saladin is running a bit late. Councillor Schantz. Councillor Verbenovic. And Councillor Wolfe. Excellent. I would like to acknowledge that the land in which we gather today is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe and Chinanton peoples. We recognize the enduring presence of indigenous peoples on this land and we honor the historic ongoing contributions to our community. I also want to take a moment to just pause and think about the wildfires that took place over the summer and the indigenous communities who many lost their homes where they live, where they steward the land and you know we felt the impacts of that for a few days, however the impacts for many are a lot longer. So taking a moment right now to recognize that perspective and you know as we steward this land and indigenous contributions to this land and they continue today. And okay. With that, I would also like to acknowledge some days of significance for the month of August. August 1st is Emancipation Day which commemorates the eman cipation of over 800,000 enslaved Africans in British controlled regions worldwide including Canada. August 9th is the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples whic …

This is not to criticize but it's more to observe and the residents have had limited opportunities to share their experiences and thoughts about what a new process could look like. For instance, the virtual consultation recently two weeks ago was an unfortunate example of the approach being used with residents being muted and cameras turned off throughout a complex and lengthy technical presentation and unmuted only to ask their question and have it answered, sometimes incorrectly because there was really very little opportunity for clarification and really at no time could residency anyone else who was involved in the virtual meeting except for the region staff or the consultant doing the presentation. So, requesting that council direct staff to move to more collaborative and inclusive approach include residents throughout the process. There's a workshop scheduled a week from now and I encourage staff to share information in advance because although slides are available to people via the int …
