City staff recommend combining efforts by three councillors before launching formal support for Dr. Barb Kane's petition
City councillors will be asked to amalgamate two similar motions from three councillors en route to officially supporting Dr. Barb Kane’s push for a permanent psychiatric facility in Prince George.
At council’s last meeting on Monday, Oct. 7, two notices of motions were raised, one from Coun. Kyle Sampson and one from Coun. Trudy Klassen and Coun. Garth Frizzell. Both motions, which were intended to go before council on Monday, Oct., 21, would call on council to support Kane’s initiative, which includes a petition that has collected more than 3,000 signatures.
In a report to council, city staff state that amalgamating the two motions would streamline discussions in order for the city to focus on a comprehensive strategy to establish a standalone secure psychiatric care facility in Prince George.If council doesn't approve the amalgamation, the two separate motions would then be entered.
