\u0022In a war zone where there is civilian genocide, with folks being tied up and shot and left to rot in the streets, it\u0027s beyond technical standards,\u0022 says Port Moody mayor Rob Vagramov.
At the Metro Vancouver mayors’ committee on Wednesday, Port Moody mayor Rob Vagramov put forward a motion that was passed unanimously to “send a letter to the Province of B.C. and the Government of Canada to make the necessary legislative exemptions to facilitate donations of surplus non-lethal equipment to Ukraine from local governments and police departments, including end-of-life body armour.”
“This would cost taxpayers nothing and the risk is low that anything would end up in the wrong hands,” he said. Port Moody Police Department spokesperson Const. Sam Zacharias confirmed the police department was considering donating expired body armour to Ukraine.Article content
