@InQuinteNews It's a nice idea that you want to "amplify Indigenous voices," but will you also protect those voices when they are targeted for speaking out about a holiday when our Mayor won't even support its cancellation? Have you asked whether FN folx feel safe having thehr names in print?
Belleville is facing a massive change ahead of the 2022 elections. A by-law is being developed to increase the city’s wards from 2 to 4.
So, what do city Councillors think of the idea? We’ve collected their opinions from the May 10 meeting where the idea was first introduced.
Please remember to tell your cllrs we need an independent consultant be hired to conduct an OBJECTIVE Ward Boundary Review.
City employees who work closely w/ our elected officials—and therefore,cannot be impartial—shouldn't be the ones analyzing such a huge change for our city
#BELLEVILLE! In case you missed it, Mayor Panciuk has introduced a motion to increase the # of wards in the city from 2 to 4, w/ 2 councillors per ward.
Panciuk suggested the process be completed by the end of 2021, to be in place for 2022 elections.
