1
00:02:57,519 --> 00:03:02,400
Hello. Um, I've been asked to make sure
that you stay muted during the meeting.

2
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:07,400
If you want to speak, you need to raise
your hand. Um, something about feedback.

3
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:11,800
» Okay, I'm drawing online.

4
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,840
Yeah, I'm online's

5
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:32,599
here.

6
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,920
I can't hear anyone either, Ailen.

7
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:25,959
» So,
do you think they're just not started

8
00:10:22,959 --> 00:10:25,959
yet?

9
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:33,920
» Yeah, I think that they are muted.
They're still muted. So, I'm not sure.

10
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:40,000
It's happening.
>> Yeah. Well, as long as they remember to

11
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:44,720
unmute the mute when they
>> Yeah. So, if not, we'll try to get a

12
00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:47,200
message to them. Well, they just
unmuted.

13
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:51,680
» We We still don't have everybody here
yet, so give it a couple minutes. Okay.

14
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:56,120
» I'm not panicking. I just thought it
might be some technological glitch.

15
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:16,519
Go ahead and try everything on and all
right.

16
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:25,279
There you go. We can see everybody now
the way I should close the chat.

17
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,600
I'm
>> too annoyed.

18
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:37,920
So, they've been asked to stay muted
unless um they are going to speak um

19
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:43,440
just because there might be some
feedback.

20
00:13:40,079 --> 00:13:46,639
» Okay. All right. Well,
>> one second. I'm actually going to stop

21
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:50,360
us for one second. I'm having technical
issues. Oh.

22
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:52,639
Okay. So, we're having some problems
with the live stream. Um, for whatever

23
00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:56,000
reason, it's not connecting. Um, so we
can go ahead and start the meeting and

24
00:16:54,399 --> 00:16:59,199
then if Chris comes to try and fix it
because I couldn't get a hold of him. If

25
00:16:57,839 --> 00:17:03,360
he comes to try and fix it, maybe we'll
print the break.

26
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:06,640
Sound good?
So you guys don't have to be unmuted for

27
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:11,160
this part because I'm not worried about
echoing if there's no video feed.

28
00:17:14,959 --> 00:17:19,760
» I'll leave it to Darling to say call us
to order.

Would like [clears throat]

82
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:06,880
a few of us. So, I I sent the email that
I that I sent explaining that I had

83
00:22:04,159 --> 00:22:09,919
concerns that this is very very close.
>> Yeah.

84
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:14,799
» Um and that some things had not yet
happened. Um and I know that Naomi

85
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:18,080
responded that she had similar concerns.
>> Um so maybe she should actually

86
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,159
» I I have no problem.
>> Yeah. Okay.

87
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:25,200
» Bringing them to rise. I mean like
they're discussion pieces so we're good.

88
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:31,240
» Should we talk about what we do have in
place?

89
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:31,240
» That will be addressed definitely. Oh.

90
00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:36,720
Are we are we are we going into
discussion right now? Yeah.

91
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,080
» I thought we were still going through
agenda. My bad.

92
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:43,679
» Okay.
>> All right. So,

93
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:50,480
» number one. So, Gala viability concerns.
Um I I had voiced my concerns in the

94
00:22:47,679 --> 00:22:54,960
email that just stated like we have a a
tight timeline to be able to do this. I

95
00:22:52,960 --> 00:23:00,559
understand uh that we already have the
venue, those relationships and and uh

96
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:04,799
opportunities to work with people in
community. So, we're not negating the

97
00:23:02,559 --> 00:23:11,200
efforts that have been done and uh
already been put in fa place. Um as a

98
00:23:08,159 --> 00:23:14,480
group, Brent, myself, and Darlene met,
and we were able to go through some of

99
00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:20,000
the nomination criteria, which we did
give in a handout, which uh I know you

100
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:25,600
ladies don't have online, so I'll read
it out for you. and it is just a letter

101
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:31,440
and also then uh developing a nomination
criteria form. So I'll just read says

102
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:35,760
the municipality of Sulakout's truth and
reconciliation committee will be hosting

103
00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:39,760
a gala to honor celebrate people and
organizations who initiate or foster

104
00:23:37,679 --> 00:23:43,760
unity and achievements towards
reconciliation. That's not in there.

105
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:47,679
This initial gala event is an
opportunity to nominate someone from the

106
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:51,120
community that has been identified to
have or promoted awareness,

107
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:56,159
strengthened, support or driven change
towards reconciliation and community. As

108
00:23:54,240 --> 00:24:01,679
we begin to identify and seek out ideas
and criteria, we welcome insight for

109
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:06,720
future for the future. And that is kind
of more or less there to identify if

110
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:10,640
there's another kind of theme or award
that we want to be given. Our initial

111
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:14,320
gallow will be to honor and acknowledge
those in community who are change makers

112
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:18,159
and to further build upon a good
foundation towards future opportunities

113
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:22,720
to be living, promoting, and working
with each other. This year's nominations

constraints

146
00:26:44,799 --> 00:26:55,039

um

00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:05,679
Because like even like if I complete
this by this week, this week like

150
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:11,279
Friday, whatever. I got to give myself a
timeline too. So if we complete it by

151
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:15,679
this Friday, um that is now the end of
January and that is a month and

152
00:27:14,243 --> 00:27:20,480
[clears throat] a half, two months to
get nominations out there, make sure the

153
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:26,720
word's out there, uh build up some of
that buzz around it. I know we have some

154
00:27:23,919 --> 00:27:31,440
concerns with the Facebook page because
we're not sure what we can share on

155
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:35,520
there. Um, are we as a truth and
reconciliation committee able to put

156
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:39,200
something in the newspaper where we
don't have the funds right now? Like

157
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:45,039
there were some constraints. We have
been able to through the sponsorship of

158
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:49,919
the program get one sponsor right now
and I think we have a budget of anywhere

159
00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:56,000
from 10 to 12,000. I'm I'm going to
wager. Uh so those were some of my

160
00:27:53,039 --> 00:28:00,000
concerns as to why I and again there's
nothing wrong with pushing things back.

161
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:04,320
It's just if we are going to be moving
things ahead, we have to have like a

162
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:08,640
very distinct timeline on what's going
to happen. And we don't have to make it

163
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:13,679
big at first. It can be it can be
something that blossoms, but we just

164
00:28:10,399 --> 00:28:17,440
need to be able to see how um what those
initial

165
00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:23,760
uh things are. So we we're looking at
the awards. We now have these distinct

166
00:28:20,559 --> 00:28:30,640
10 awards. Uh we've talked previously
about in in in people who are invited as

167
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:35,679
well as sorry and people who have uh
been nominated their families and then a

168
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:40,640
100 person capacity. So
>> my concern with this year is if you

169
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:44,399
don't have them until March back and you
don't choose people, you can't

170
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:47,200
personalize the rewards. We don't I mean
that's something we talked about having

171
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:52,720
something carved specifically for
people. Would we not to be identifying

172
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,279
who they are and what they were
nominated for? There's not going to be

173
00:28:54,399 --> 00:28:59,039
time for that
>> unless you do placards which again still

174
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:04,799
takes time because you could go through
Dryen or Winnipeg or Thunder Bay and and

175
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:08,799
again the these are like we have pieces
in place.

176
00:29:06,159 --> 00:29:13,919
» So the discussion really is about like
the timeline. It is it is aggressive and

177
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:18,320
I don't know. Um I said I'd be working
on this over the weekend and I got

178
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:23,919
sidelined with a few other things. So
like we're all volunteers here. We need

179
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:27,440
to like look at our our uh support
staff. We need to look at those people

180
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:32,480
who are volunteer also the people who
are able to participate their schedule

181
00:29:30,159 --> 00:29:37,840
and and and that's why I'm saying I'm
not against having it but like either we

182
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:41,919
bring it way down
or

183
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:47,679
or we or we go with it and we just see
what happens and that's

184
00:29:45,919 --> 00:29:51,440
» Go ahead.
>> I'm sort of of the mindset that we have

185
00:29:49,679 --> 00:29:55,760
to go with it because we don't because
we were going to do it last year. We

186
00:29:52,880 --> 00:30:02,480
pushed it ahead if we and to coordinate
the four to get the caterer, the event,

187
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:09,440
the MC and the keynote speaker on the
same day took a lot of you know um

188
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:15,440
wrangling and we've done that. So when I
return from vacation next week, which is

189
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:20,080
on on Sunday, I'm planning on and once
now that we know how many awards we

190
00:30:18,159 --> 00:30:25,360
have, I'm very confident that we can get
award sponsor and I'm going to try to

191
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:31,600
choose each thing and get people to
sponsor. So we already have like the

192
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:39,679
venue, the MC, the keynote speaker, um
the caterer, we have the the venue is

193
00:30:35,279 --> 00:30:43,760
donated. So, um, for our finances, we,
in my mind, we have the $2,000 from the

194
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:48,399
Truth and Reconciliation Committee. We
have the $5,000 from Laxul. We have the

195
00:30:46,399 --> 00:30:53,120
ticket sales, which let's say is another
th uh $1,000. So, we're already at

196
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:57,919
$8,000. So, we really only need
sponsorship for 5,000, which I'm

197
00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:02,159
confident that the end of next week
we'll have that.

198
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:04,720
» I I agree. I feel, too.
>> I'm I'm not worried about that.

199
00:31:03,496 --> 00:31:08,960
[clears throat] So, I already know who
the people that I'm going to talk to. I

200
00:31:06,399 --> 00:31:13,279
just needed to know how many and we have
Jesse Fidler already in place willing to

201
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:17,600
do the carvings of the of the feathers
as the award. He's committed to that. We

202
00:31:15,679 --> 00:31:23,440
just need to let him know we need 10
now. Um, and then like you said to get

203
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:28,000
the plaques. The hard part will be once
we get the nominees is to do the

204
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:34,399
personalization in the we'll have three
we'll have three weeks. So, um I think

205
00:31:32,159 --> 00:31:40,559
we need to partner with a couple people
like for set up and to do the actual

206
00:31:36,799 --> 00:31:45,519
physical work. Um we all we already have
like for the caterers I got um

207
00:31:43,679 --> 00:31:50,240
accommodations donated for the out of
town chefs already. Um you know I'm

208
00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:55,039
going to try we have to have our own
servers. So I'm going to contact the

209
00:31:53,039 --> 00:32:00,640
girl guides and see if they'll serve. We
already have someone who's agreed to run

210
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:07,120
the mocktails bar. So, we have a lot of
stuff in place. So, I think it's just a

211
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:11,760
matter of, you know, um
I think we can pull it together in

212
00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:17,919
because we have all of you know, one
week left in January, February, March,

213
00:32:14,399 --> 00:32:24,240
and three weeks in April. So, we have 12
weeks. So, and I'm sort of committing to

214
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:27,600
work at on this sort of full-time for a
couple of weeks to make sure we're where

215
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,760
we need to be.
>> That's good, buddy. You got the

216
00:32:28,799 --> 00:32:35,039
commitment.
>> Yeah.

217
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:40,799
» So, I I think we should just plow ahead
and just hope for the best.

218
00:32:39,039 --> 00:32:44,399
» I guess we need to get the uh
sponsorship letters out almost right

219
00:32:43,279 --> 00:32:48,720
away.
>> Yeah. My vision on that was just to go

220
00:32:46,799 --> 00:32:50,159
actually handd deliver them and speak to
people.

221
00:32:49,279 --> 00:32:53,360
» Okay.
>> So that's sort of the plan next week.

222
00:32:52,559 --> 00:33:01,039
» Yeah.
>> The press release should be written up

223
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:06,480
for um uh to let people know that that
this will be happening. something should

224
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:12,880
be sent out to I don't know CKDR
uh Sue Bulletin

225
00:33:09,679 --> 00:33:20,320
newspaper the local area
um press

226
00:33:15,679 --> 00:33:23,200
I think WASA has a radio station as well
so

227
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:26,880
» and WA was excited about doing anything
that they can to help support any of the

228
00:33:25,279 --> 00:33:30,640
events they were excited that I was on
the committee and and they're like

229
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:34,880
report back we'll we'll do what we can
let us

230
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:43,919
And then for the uh bags, I guess for
the the um gift bags or or the um what

231
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:45,600
do you call those uh bags that everybody
gets?

232
00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:47,200
» Swag bags.
>> Ah,

233
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:52,559
» swag bags.
>> Yeah, the swag bags.

234
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:56,240
So, that stuff would need to be ordered.
I think those are some of the things

235
00:33:54,240 --> 00:34:04,200
that need to be done almost right away
within the next week. Well, hopefully

236
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:04,200
that'll work out. Um,

237
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:10,560
what else?
>> I do have a question, Joan. Sorry. Um,

238
00:34:08,639 --> 00:34:13,760
you said that like there was funding
that was going to be coming out of truth

239
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:18,800
and reconciliation
and that kind of came to 8,000. So, we

240
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:24,240
got the five that was donated in the
sponsorship from the one letter

241
00:34:21,919 --> 00:34:28,720
» and the two like our committee has
$2,500. So, we have to do a motion to

242
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:34,639
say that we're going to spend two of it
on this gala and then if we

243
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:37,280
» that could be just in principle, right?
Because if there are additional

244
00:34:35,919 --> 00:34:41,040
sponsorships like
>> Yes. Yes. That's just if we need it. If

245
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:46,879
we don't need it, if there's money left
over um you know, we could forward it to

246
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:50,800
our our garden project, right? So
hopefully we'll get we'll have

247
00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:55,359
sponsorships, but in the meantime until
we get that money, we we pro we may have

248
00:34:53,760 --> 00:35:00,160
to allocate some of our own money,
right?

249
00:34:58,079 --> 00:35:03,760
» And and that budget was discussed of
2,000 from this committee.

250
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:09,359
» No, that's what I'm saying. I'm saying
we need to do a motion today.

251
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:13,599
» Okay. So then it's it's actually not a
basis, but it is a place for discussion,

252
00:35:11,839 --> 00:35:17,520
» but it like we haven't discussed that
cuz I was like, what? I don't remember

253
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:22,400
that. No, but we did discuss like we put
in our work plan that this is what we're

254
00:35:19,359 --> 00:35:26,560
going to do with this money. So, um
because we have the $2,500 and we need

255
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:30,160
we would need a little bit of money to
run the summer events, but other than

256
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:37,000
that,
um you know, we don't the money could be

257
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,000
allocated to this event.

258
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,520
» Thank you.
>> I thought some of the money was supposed

259
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:45,599
to go toward the purchasing of the
garden itself. Mhm. That's that's why I

260
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:50,400
said I we haven't had the full
discussion on where the funds are going

261
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:54,400
to be disseminated. So,
>> it was it was just brought up in your

262
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:57,680
your your conversation just now. So,
that's why I was just asking cuz I'm

263
00:35:55,760 --> 00:36:02,400
like I I wasn't sure if that was the
conversation we had. Um there is one

264
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:06,960
thing for the
work plan when we get to it. Maybe we

265
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:11,680
just need to add like a dollar amount
for what we'd like to budget to it just

266
00:36:09,119 --> 00:36:14,560
so that we kind of see
>> add that for ourselves. This is the

267
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:17,280
version that's going to council tonight
or tomorrow.

268
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,839
» Okay. Yeah. For our
>> for ourselves.

269
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:24,640
» Thank you. Just so we have another one.
That way you can see where your

270
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:28,960
allocated funds are going.
>> And I don't think that we have to do a

271
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:32,960
motion every time we spend money. Right.
>> No, but we have to at least have a plan.

272
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,520
Yes. Yes, there has to be a motion to
spend money

273
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,839
» there by council. It does.
>> Yes, I have to have direction to spend

274
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:41,599
money.
>> So, there has to be a motion to spend

275
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,599
money, I guess.
>> Okay.

276
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:52,480
» So, other than that, then the tight
timelines and and if you're if you're

277
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,040
confident with the 12 weeks, I mean,
like we can give it a go. Definitely.

278
00:36:54,800 --> 00:37:00,480
Yeah,
>> I just needed to ensure that we were

279
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:05,440
aware that there were some um timelines
because even though we have like the

280
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:10,960
logistics, we don't necessarily had we
didn't have up until last week

281
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:13,839
» a lot of detail. So, I mean for me it
was kind of like the cart before the

282
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:16,800
horse. So, uh like
>> but

283
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:21,119
» I find that too like as I was like
talking to people and I I didn't have

284
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:24,400
like full details yet of really what's
going on, they're like, "Okay, well, can

285
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:28,880
you still do a presentation for us?" So
like Slam, we I I had approached them

286
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:32,800
and talked about maybe having like um
>> a market before so that we're selling

287
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:36,320
indigenous artists,
>> you know, prayers and stuff like that.

288
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,359
And then and so they they just want to
know some more information and what this

289
00:37:37,839 --> 00:37:42,960
is all about. And I don't know if that's
going to come out in like, you know, a

290
00:37:41,599 --> 00:37:47,040
letter like some of these things like
what the, you know, I could take some

291
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:51,599
stuff together and do that or if it's in
a letter, um, like the letter that we're

292
00:37:49,839 --> 00:37:55,200
handing out to businesses if it's going
to all be in there and I just bring that

293
00:37:53,359 --> 00:37:59,040
and talk. I don't know if there's other
ways that we want to do a presentation

294
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:02,480
for SLAM. Um,
>> and everyone else too and

295
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:06,160
» everyone else for Yeah. like how great
we want to approach them with like this

296
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:11,200
is what we're doing, this is why
>> what are you able to do with this?

297
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:15,760
» Um, and then also
>> one other thing I did want to discuss

298
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:20,320
today too is we've got options with
Nadia being our keynote speaker. We have

299
00:38:19,119 --> 00:38:24,880
» MC
>> No, Nadia's going to be the the keynote

300
00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:31,760
speaker and the MC have approached
Elliot Dader win. Um, he still also

301
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:34,960
wants some more information and I've
given him tobacco and I'm holding it

302
00:38:33,359 --> 00:38:41,280
until we have more information and he'll
accept. Um, so with Nadia like there's

303
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:46,400
there's different ways that she can do
her her talk and it can be

304
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:50,160
art based. It could be based on like her
documentary my students for granny or

305
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:54,480
different art that she's done and she
can she can speak through truth and

306
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:59,920
reconciliation through her art or she
can do it as um you know like a workshop

307
00:38:58,079 --> 00:39:04,720
and and people understand it in a
different way through her her workshops.

308
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:08,640
I have her resume here today too. It's
just it's four pages long with all the

309
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:13,839
different ways that she can kind of
bring bring it together. So, if we want

310
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:19,920
to if we want to talk with her, I can
also um arrange to have her zoom into a

311
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:26,960
one of our meetings if we want to just
see how we want to make that happen.

312
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,320
» That could possibly be on a subcommittee
meeting.

313
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,520
» Yeah.
>> Unless through unless through the

314
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:35,839
municipality she wants to do a
presentation because then that would

315
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:40,000
fall within what we could do during a
meeting. But if it's to like more or

316
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:42,960
less have a an idea of what she's going
to speak about, I'd let her do that with

317
00:39:42,079 --> 00:39:47,920
the committee.
>> Okay. I think the reality is because I

318
00:39:45,839 --> 00:39:51,680
talked to Brian about this is that we
almost have to just do a motion to

319
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:55,599
approve that we're going to spend
certain amount of money of our

320
00:39:54,000 --> 00:40:00,400
committee's money towards this and
everything else is going to have to be

321
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:03,760
done in subcommittee because like
Michelle just said like you're talking

322
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:08,800
to people you're moving forward and the
the reality is when you you're doing a

323
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:13,119
first event that's never been done
before.

324
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:16,160
» Yeah. um like when we're out there
talking to people, we don't have

325
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:19,599
everything secured. We don't know what
it's going to be like. We have visions.

326
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:25,119
We all have visions that are going to be
pulled together and uh you know, as

327
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:28,640
things come up, we're going to address
them and we're going to figure them out

328
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:34,560
and we're going to you know, pull
everything together. But we but it's I

329
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:39,119
like Darlene's idea of doing a press
release of maybe, you know, work if

330
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:42,800
Brent will work with us and as a
communications officer, you know, and to

331
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:48,320
figure out what we need to get out there
and if we can work with him to do that,

332
00:40:45,839 --> 00:40:51,839
that would be fantastic. Get that
information out.

333
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:56,000
» So that would include like the different
nomination categories and we can send

334
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:59,280
that out to everybody as well, right?
And

335
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:03,119
» yeah.
Yeah. Like one of the key things that we

336
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:08,760
needed were those nominations. So now
that we have the nominations, then we

337
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,760
can move forward. Right.

338
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,040
» Sorry to interrupt. What was theme
again?

339
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,839
» I didn't put in the letter.
>> Yeah, we

340
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:19,520
» we still don't have a theme.
>> Theme.

341
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:22,720
» So like even though we sent out the uh
>> the monkey, the survey monkey,

342
00:41:21,168 --> 00:41:28,160
[clears throat] we still don't have a
actual land on a theme. So like

343
00:41:27,119 --> 00:41:32,960
» again,
>> yeah. like what happened with the like

344
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:35,839
what what was the result of the survey?
>> There was a lot of trouble with the

345
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:39,200
survey. People did not seem to
understand it and we did not come to a

346
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,680
conclusion on that survey.
>> Okay, good to know.

347
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,839
» So, I think your best bet would actually
be just to discuss it and choose

348
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:49,119
something.
>> Sounds good.

349
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:52,119
» Because that'll also help like identify.
>> Yeah,

350
00:41:53,599 --> 00:41:59,760
» that's the theme. The theme says turtle
on there.

351
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:03,280
Yeah, that was just an idea we had way
back. But when we sent out remember last

352
00:42:01,599 --> 00:42:07,119
time we sent out like you really liked
the one that was the resilience one.

353
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:12,160
What was the one that darling you like
that one? What was it called? Does

354
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:17,119
Michelle remember what it was?
>> Sorry. [laughter]

355
00:42:14,319 --> 00:42:22,000
» If you turn into your um
>> I don't reference there. All themes are

356
00:42:21,119 --> 00:42:27,160
there.
>> Okay. Was it like we remember Beyon

357
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,160
reise?

358
00:42:28,319 --> 00:42:33,274
» That was mine. I like that one.
[laughter]

359
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:38,640
» Honoring the past, shaping the future.
>> I like that one, too.

360
00:42:37,359 --> 00:42:40,960
» Honoring the past, shaping the future.
Yeah, I like that.

361
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,040
» That's probably my favorite.
>> Oh, yeah.

362
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:46,880
» And that's why I'm saying I know when we
were talking about it, we we we were all

363
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:52,079
like, "These are so good." Yeah,
>> it should be our like true

364
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:55,839
» but we should land on one today and just
go with it from that list

365
00:42:54,079 --> 00:42:59,680
» definitely because that supports our
sponsor letter and it supports our

366
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:04,560
nomination letter. So we we need a name
or a theme. Sorry.

367
00:43:02,319 --> 00:43:09,000
» Number seven,
>> you remember we honor we rise.

368
00:43:11,599 --> 00:43:17,200
» Seven for you.
>> I I No, I still like number two. What's

369
00:43:15,119 --> 00:43:20,640
number [laughter] two, Naomi? Naomi,
what is number two? Read it out.

370
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:23,760
» Honoring the past, shaping the future.
>> Yeah, I like that one, too.

371
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:27,040
» You like that one?
>> Yeah, cuz it's moving forward, right?

372
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:33,480
» Yeah.
>> You guys want to vote on anything or is

373
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:33,480
there anything?

374
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,760
» You're muted.
>> Yeah,

375
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:44,640
» can't hear you.
>> I I'm unmuted now. Um, yeah. I I like um

376
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:48,079
Yeah, I like the what was it? Honoring
the past, shaping the future. I like

377
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,560
that one.
>> Okay, let's go with that one then.

378
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:51,760
» Okay.
>> Yeah.

379
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,495
» Want to vote?
>> Yeah, that's fine. [laughter]

380
00:43:54,640 --> 00:44:00,880
» One, two, three, four, and five. Okay.
>> So, that's that is it. I know that shape

381
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,440
in the future.
>> Yeah, I like that.

382
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:06,880
» Wonder if that shape in the future.
>> That is our initial one. So that can

383
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:09,599
kind of and we want to keep these themes
for following years because they're

384
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,880
really good.
>> Yeah, actually they are

385
00:44:10,720 --> 00:44:17,119
» because I I like that because it it it's
not only for First Nations to come

386
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:21,920
together in this truth and
reconciliation, right? And and if it's

387
00:44:19,119 --> 00:44:27,680
about just like um we remember, we
honor, we rise, right? It's not bringing

388
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:32,000
that that spirit of together of of
together we move forward, right?

389
00:44:30,079 --> 00:44:35,359
Please stop.
>> And I think it actually sounds really

390
00:44:33,359 --> 00:44:39,440
good for the first one because then
you're shaping the future even of your

391
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:45,319
gala just to kind of grab that
recognition for next year. Right.

392
00:44:42,079 --> 00:44:45,319
» Good job.

393
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:53,599
» You good with that, Joan?
>> Yep. Um Megan, can you send it out in an

394
00:44:51,359 --> 00:44:58,079
email so we have the actual writing like
the actual words and we can all know

395
00:44:55,440 --> 00:45:01,920
what it is tomorrow morning? [laughter]
Yes, I can do that.

396
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:06,160
» Yeah. And like the other thing that I
think is going to happen at the auction

397
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:12,240
too is we will or at the um gallas we
will have an auction. So those that

398
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:16,839
revenue from the auction I sort of think
that we should use that to the garden

399
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:22,079
» since donate donations of art pieces or
something.

400
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:26,400
» Yeah. Of different things. Yeah. And
even if we just have like, you know, not

401
00:45:24,079 --> 00:45:32,560
make it too large, like try to get 12
items, which is not a lot, you know, and

402
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:38,960
then if each item, let's say, sells for
anywhere between$1 and $200,

403
00:45:36,079 --> 00:45:42,200
you know, then we we would have $2,400
from that.

404
00:45:42,240 --> 00:45:51,040
So, I think we should I really think we
should make the motion to allocate some

405
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:55,760
of our funds from our $2,500 towards the
gala.

406
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:58,720
It's just then we have money that we can
start ordering things right away. We're

407
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:02,319
not waiting for money to come in. We're
not waiting and then we can just replace

408
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:05,319
that money if we make money from the
gala.

409
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:16,160
Do people agree with that?
>> So our fiscal like we're we're already

410
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:18,480
do we go calendar or fiscal?
>> Yeah.

411
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:22,079
» Is our fiscal?
>> Oh yeah. So we're so we're already back

412
00:46:20,079 --> 00:46:26,640
at January. We're at 2500 as of now.
>> Okay. Council tomorrow when they approve

413
00:46:24,319 --> 00:46:31,359
your budget, you will have $2,500.
>> There you go. I I was I thought it was

414
00:46:28,720 --> 00:46:33,040
fiscal like March. March.
Okay.

415
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:36,480
» Well, we might as well spend it all.
>> Yes.

416
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:40,319
We'll support we'll support this.
>> Keep in mind that you have you have

417
00:46:38,319 --> 00:46:44,720
potentially rocks to action. You have
the banked bake off. You have other

418
00:46:43,119 --> 00:46:49,839
events that you want to make sure that
you do consider. If you spend everything

419
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:53,440
now, there's nothing later.
>> Definitely.

420
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:58,480
» But in reality, like we have never spent
one cent on Rocks for Action. That's all

421
00:46:55,839 --> 00:47:02,000
all the stuff has been donated. And
>> those people are no longer with us.

422
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:06,319
Right. You have spent money in Rocks to
Action because you've had honorarium.

423
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:12,000
» Yes. The honorarium. So that's the only
thing we need the money for is the an

424
00:47:08,079 --> 00:47:16,400
honorarium for our our guest. And um
>> you spend $2,000. You don't have enough

425
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:19,359
for honorariums for two people. That
that's all I'm saying is just make sure

426
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:21,200
that you're considering that you have
it.

427
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,359
» Um
>> Yeah.

428
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,839
» Yeah.
>> But we need to know those parameters.

429
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:31,200
» Yeah.
>> Um I would be good to spend up to 1,500

430
00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:35,520
in principle. Okay.
>> And and the reason why I put in

431
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:40,800
principle is because like we take 1,500
of our budget to and should it get

432
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:49,440
reallocated back then then yeah, we can
use it. But um I don't really want to

433
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:54,480
designate 1,500. That's my opinion.
>> You don't want to designate 1500?

434
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:58,400
» Not not right off not right off the the
budget. But again, like I think we'll

435
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:04,640
have a better idea when we look at the
work plan and see kind of all of those

436
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:10,000
other projects that we have on the globe
>> because in the past like our big the

437
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:15,133
things we spent our money on is the um
the elder for rocks for action and then

438
00:48:13,119 --> 00:48:18,880
a project and this is our project.
[laughter] So and usually the banic bake

439
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:22,559
off like we didn't spend any money on
the banic bake off. Um,

440
00:48:20,720 --> 00:48:25,040
» what if we go ahead and look at the work
plan and then come back to the idea of

441
00:48:24,319 --> 00:48:29,280
spending money?
>> Yeah, I would like to talk to um Eric

442
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:33,359
Bordalus of Home Hardware. I think he
would be all over this. I think he would

443
00:48:31,839 --> 00:48:36,480
really, you know,
>> he's on my list. Yeah. To talk. Are

444
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:41,040
» you going to talk to him? Because I
could I could

445
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:44,800
stretch it include things about
donations. Mhm.

446
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:47,920
» So, if if there's an organization or a
company or a business of talent that you

447
00:48:46,240 --> 00:48:52,400
feel is going to be able to donate
something, even if it's something for

448
00:48:50,079 --> 00:48:55,760
your auction or something for the swag
bags, that's that's what letters for to

449
00:48:54,160 --> 00:49:00,240
or reach out to people with. Yeah.
>> And and I did put in the letter areas if

450
00:48:58,079 --> 00:49:02,960
if all you have is some of your own
business swag that you want to put in

451
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:06,160
bags,
>> fine. That's great. That's being a

452
00:49:05,359 --> 00:49:12,480
burner.
>> Mhm. Um it's just a matter of getting

453
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:14,400
those out to where they can possibly go.
>> Yeah.

454
00:49:13,599 --> 00:49:17,680
» Yeah.
>> And I mean it is in our work plan. So

455
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:20,720
you guys would be checking off that box
too, right? Community rel relationships

456
00:49:19,599 --> 00:49:24,559
and partnerships.
>> Yeah, for sure.

457
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:28,880
» So I think the only reason why I'm
saying 1500 from my perspective is

458
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:33,520
because we still have another like
thousand to work with should some of

459
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:38,960
these other projects come up. Um because
even when we did the signage, did you

460
00:49:36,319 --> 00:49:43,839
guys have a picture in the paper yet?
>> No, it never got published. They came

461
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:47,680
took the picture and everything, but
they never published it.

462
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,280
» Good thing to do while we're doing this
campaign, I guess.

463
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,880
» Yeah.
>> So, you you can say we've kind of done

464
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:56,400
some of these projects [clears throat]
around town if you've noticed.

465
00:49:54,800 --> 00:50:01,760
» Um
and then again, it's it's supporting

466
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:06,400
everyone who wants to participate. Like
I think this is really opening those

467
00:50:03,599 --> 00:50:09,359
doors for relationships. So the gal is
good.

468
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:15,520
» Talking to them about it is good.
Building that relationship with people.

469
00:50:13,119 --> 00:50:18,520
» You guys have a tight timeline.
>> Yeah.

470
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:26,640
Yeah. And Michelle, I can talk to you um
next week and we'll decide who can do

471
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:30,960
we'll we'll divide and conquer.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Cuz Yeah. There's some big

472
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:33,280
businesses and like even Moosehorn and
you know stuff like that. We can

473
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,240
» So
>> I've talked to Todd and Tracy at Fresh

474
00:50:35,119 --> 00:50:39,839
Market.
>> Yeah,

475
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:44,960
there's some there's some big um
businesses out there and even some of

476
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:47,599
the um organizations around town may
want to support it as well.

477
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:52,680
» Yeah.
>> Yeah.

478
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,680
» NCan

479
00:50:54,720 --> 00:51:02,240
and then the tribal councils. Yeah.
peanut wiggo ifna

480
00:50:59,839 --> 00:51:06,800
» and kituin kowituin can help us by
printing for us

481
00:51:05,119 --> 00:51:10,400
» ko
um

482
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:15,920
» and then they have the other uh what is
it ke

483
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:22,040
organization
>> but there's they're they're doing the

484
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:22,040
high school students uh

485
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:28,480
and uh family uh I don't know social
service for

486
00:51:26,720 --> 00:51:32,160
» for KI. Yeah.
>> So that's kind of new.

487
00:51:30,240 --> 00:51:37,680
» Then you already have Sliff now. You
might want to put in Manoa and just the

488
00:51:35,119 --> 00:51:38,800
big organizations around town.
>> Yeah.

489
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:43,280
» Yeah.
>> And then the businesses, like you say,

490
00:51:40,720 --> 00:51:46,240
businesses.
>> Yeah.

491
00:51:44,079 --> 00:51:50,160
» And even some local artisans can donate
to the auction, you know.

492
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:53,839
» Oh, yeah.
>> Yeah.

493
00:51:52,079 --> 00:51:59,920
» Yeah. Start tapping into some of the
artists. You know the other thing I was

494
00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:04,000
thinking about was uh for the awards to
be presented

495
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:09,599
uh they should be presented by
dignitaries from solo

496
00:52:06,720 --> 00:52:15,119
» like say the op
detachment commander and

497
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:22,800
maybe somebody else from the op could do
it. We could also invite the NAPS

498
00:52:18,559 --> 00:52:28,559
officers to come come out and uh offer
offer a presentation to somebody. So you

499
00:52:25,599 --> 00:52:30,400
would need I guess 10 10 awards
presenters.

500
00:52:29,599 --> 00:52:35,359
» Yeah.
>> You can get somebody from Laxul to

501
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:42,431
present an award that you can come out
and present the award or Elvis I guess.

502
00:52:38,240 --> 00:52:42,431
Uh he he'll be our chief. [laughter]

503
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:51,760
But um yeah, so we'll we'll we'll see
who can come out. The director for Man

504
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:55,920
Allen could come out and and uh present
an award or anybody else you can think

505
00:52:54,319 --> 00:52:57,359
of that might
>> um

506
00:52:56,160 --> 00:53:00,880
» and when you do that, you got to think
of what you're taking away from the

507
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:04,480
invites too, right? Yeah.
>> Because you said 120.

508
00:53:02,720 --> 00:53:08,720
» That's for like the support. So that's
100.

509
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:12,240
» There's only 100 tickets and 20 We're
anticipating 20 staff members, right?

510
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,599
Isn't that what we decided?
>> Yeah.

511
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:17,760
» Volunteership.
>> And then we have 20 possibly settle

512
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,960
aside for those people who are being
honored.

513
00:53:18,559 --> 00:53:22,400
» Yes.
>> Plus family then. Yeah. Like we're

514
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:27,680
already we're already getting down to
like 65 70

515
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:30,800
» invitations beyond that, right?
>> Yeah.

516
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:34,800
» Well, and remember in the letter
depending on the donation level you gave

517
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:38,160
them seats.
>> Yes.

518
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:40,880
» So letter has four seats.
Okay.

519
00:53:38,720 --> 00:53:45,119
» So again, it's it's coming to crunching
numbers and and really honing in.

520
00:53:43,599 --> 00:53:48,559
» Hopefully those four seats will be the
delegates that are presenting awards.

521
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:51,599
» Yes, exactly. [laughter]
>> Yeah.

522
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:55,137
Two words of fun.
>> You can't demand that.

523
00:53:52,720 --> 00:53:55,137
» I know. [laughter]

524
00:53:55,440 --> 00:54:01,359
» Before the sports, I don't know, you
would want to come up to the Bombers

525
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:06,160
with somebody from the Bombers.
>> Why not? Or

526
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:10,319
» coach or or even somebody from the golf
club? I don't know.

527
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:13,440
What about a principal from the school?
>> Yeah. Yeah. They could be a dignitary

528
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,752
that presents an award.
>> You know anyone? [laughter]

529
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:23,200
» I think it fit very nicely.
>> There you go.

530
00:54:21,119 --> 00:54:28,319
» Well, slowly coming together. These are
just some of the outstanding questions.

531
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:35,119
» And the only thing I see may need a a
room for safe space for anybody who is

532
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:41,280
uh triggered or traumatized. We may need
a counselor in there, you know, from

533
00:54:38,559 --> 00:54:48,760
Noden maybe to see if anybody can come
out and uh lend their supports that way

534
00:54:44,319 --> 00:54:48,760
for us. So,

535
00:54:51,359 --> 00:55:00,200
» I'll talk to adult ed for the safe
space. See if we can use that space.

536
00:54:55,920 --> 00:55:00,200
» Yeah, a little safe space.

537
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:10,440
» What else? an elder I guess for the uh
event of an elder too.

538
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:19,079
Somebody to do the opening prayer.
>> Yeah.

539
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:19,079
» And the closing.

540
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:27,119
» Yeah. Once with you, Brent and Naomi,
once you've done all the nominations,

541
00:55:25,119 --> 00:55:32,160
maybe the next thing you guys could work
on is the program.

542
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:35,800
like how is the the like how's the
program going to go?

543
00:55:36,608 --> 00:55:40,079
[clears throat]
>> Yeah.

544
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:44,160
» And again, that will have to be done in
subcommittee, right? So, there's sort of

545
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:49,920
going to be two subcommittees sort of
like you guys doing the logistics and

546
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:55,280
then the boots on the ground doing the
work. Yeah.

547
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:58,880
And hopefully I was sort of thinking of
reaching out to an organization who will

548
00:55:57,119 --> 00:56:04,640
come and be boots on the ground the
night to help us do work like you know I

549
00:56:02,240 --> 00:56:10,400
don't know who like maybe Rotary or the
Lions or someone like that you know to

550
00:56:07,359 --> 00:56:14,000
help set up and take down
>> maybe that's something we want to add to

551
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:18,880
our uh sponsorship letter is like what
can be done in kind.

552
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:25,280
» Yeah. Yeah. and then just say like I'd
be a we we as an organization would be

553
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:27,440
available to supply four people at this
time or whatever.

554
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:31,119
» Yeah,
>> that that might be good to add.

555
00:56:29,359 --> 00:56:36,640
» Yeah,
>> I'm going to feel out for uh WASA staff.

556
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:40,640
They like to be involved in everything,
right? And we have our our staff meeting

557
00:56:39,119 --> 00:56:44,480
on Friday and I'm going to bring some of
these and and and see who's

558
00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:47,839
» available to do stuff. It was if it was
during the week, we would be like

559
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:49,920
mandated. you guys are going to help.
Yeah, [laughter]

560
00:56:48,559 --> 00:56:53,920
cuz we are setting up
>> but if it's in the evenings and weekend

561
00:56:51,599 --> 00:56:58,880
then then I'll I'll s I'll suggest it
and see who volunteers to come in. But

562
00:56:56,160 --> 00:57:04,160
» because setup is is we've organized that
setup is on Friday. So it is during the

563
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:09,760
week the Friday setup but then we have
to clean up on Sunday which is not

564
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:12,559
during the week.
>> Set up

565
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:17,680
» but definitely set up. I can update the
donation letter to include the theme and

566
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:22,079
um that suggestion
>> possible in kind. Yeah,

567
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:25,119
» definitely in kind and see.
>> You never know

568
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:28,640
» cuz yeah, as long as they have a contact
to say, "Hey, you know what? We said we

569
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:32,160
can do this in kind." And then they're
able to talk to Joan and said, you know,

570
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:36,640
kind of give us like your layout. What
do you need for Friday? What do you need

571
00:57:33,359 --> 00:57:40,400
for Sunday? And at the event and then
you you have at least that logistics

572
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:43,839
going. Yeah,
>> that'd be good.

573
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:47,920
» Well, I've also encouraged the use of
potentially reaching out to the high

574
00:57:45,119 --> 00:57:51,920
school and the college for volunteers.
>> Their their people need volunteer hours.

575
00:57:49,839 --> 00:57:56,160
They have minimum they have to meet and
let's face it, by April.

576
00:57:54,240 --> 00:58:00,880
» Yep. [laughter]
>> So, I was going to send out like this uh

577
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:05,040
nomination letter um and some other
stuff to the high school. my my husband

578
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:09,680
is the vice principal there and so just
give him an idea of all the the the

579
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:14,160
categories and you know like he's got
his eyes on the ground knowing where

580
00:58:11,599 --> 00:58:19,040
where you know possible some students
and stuff like that could be tapped on

581
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:23,599
his shoulder um and and then also
suggests like volunteering and and who

582
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:31,520
wants to get in there as well and he
works with the partners as well like all

583
00:58:25,839 --> 00:58:35,200
KO and Shabuma and um windo if not and
So we can probably see how that that

584
00:58:33,839 --> 00:58:40,359
works through there too through the
school.

585
00:58:37,359 --> 00:58:40,359
Yeah.

586
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:49,559
» Anything else on this topic until we get
back to the financial aspect?

587
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:56,720
» So do you think we should make a motion
now to spend the $1,500?

588
00:58:55,119 --> 00:59:00,000
» I thought Naomi wanted to talk about the
work plan first.

589
00:58:57,839 --> 00:59:05,559
» Okay, let's do that. If we are okay,
then we then we can ballpark where we're

590
00:59:02,559 --> 00:59:05,559
at.

591
00:59:08,175 --> 00:59:10,195
[clears throat]

592
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,480
» So, we're going to review the work plan
first.

593
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:21,440
» Yeah.
>> Yeah. Okay. They'll

594
00:59:17,359 --> 00:59:26,559
» updated work plan and education campaign
uh complete or ongoing stand project

595
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:32,079
creation of standies for has been
completed. Additional requests were will

596
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:38,559
be reviewed as received. Education will
continue to be supported on as needed

597
00:59:34,559 --> 00:59:44,720
and opportunity based basis.
Public space and memorialization.

598
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:49,280
Uh creation of public space designated
for reflection and hailing. Uh council

599
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:54,319
has approved a public space for
relocation of the memorial. Uh

600
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:58,319
relocation of existing memorial to
memorial garden near the travel

601
00:59:56,400 --> 01:00:03,839
information center is planned for the
spring. Additional elements may be

602
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:08,079
explored as the project progresses with
the understanding of anything outside of

603
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:14,400
the garden requires further council
approval and uh provide input on

604
01:00:10,799 --> 01:00:19,119
municipal projects as requested as per
2026

605
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:24,720
to 31 strategic plan.
>> Okay. So,

606
01:00:21,599 --> 01:00:29,680
what when um Joan when you were talking
with Lena, what were some of the costs

607
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:34,160
associated with this? Was there anything
like

608
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:37,920
the the public space? I couldn't
remember if there was going to be like a

609
01:00:35,599 --> 01:00:40,920
little display that we were hoping to
have.

610
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:49,359
Can't hear you, John.
Microphone. Yeah.

611
01:00:47,119 --> 01:00:55,920
» Sorry. We're doing a physical garden.
So, we have to purchase like the garden,

612
01:00:52,799 --> 01:01:01,200
the actual building material.
>> And then we wanted to do some kind of

613
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:06,240
display. So, and we would need dirt and
plants. So, the plants can be available

614
01:01:04,559 --> 01:01:10,400
for donation like people can buy them in
honor of other people, but we would need

615
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:15,920
to build the physical infrastructure,
which it's quite small. It's not that

616
01:01:13,359 --> 01:01:20,400
big. And it would be nice to have some
type of art application within the

617
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:24,559
garden that can hold some of the shoes
or a shoe or something.

618
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:31,839
» Can I ask
>> I think we should be able to pull that

619
01:01:25,839 --> 01:01:37,640
off for easily for $1,000 like
>> what are the dimensions of the the

620
01:01:34,319 --> 01:01:37,640
garden again?

621
01:01:38,079 --> 01:01:43,200
» Megan, do you know the exact dimensions?
It wasn't very big. I'm going to say

622
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:47,119
less than eight. Not. I have to look it
up. Give me Give me a few minutes. So,

623
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:51,359
» they're like 4 by eight or
>> eight by Yeah, 12 by eight.

624
01:01:50,079 --> 01:01:55,760
» 12 by eight. Okay.
>> Yeah. Which when you're building things,

625
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:59,760
that's dimensional lumber
>> sizes, right?

626
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:05,119
» It might even been thinner.
>> Yeah. So Joan, you and I were

627
01:02:02,079 --> 01:02:11,040
» Joan, you and I were going to look at
the construction costs

628
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:17,119
» and the soil because if we do that
fairly soon, there is a grant in the

629
01:02:14,319 --> 01:02:20,240
United Church, but we need to do it soon
because the deadline for the application

630
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:22,480
is coming up.
>> Okay. So we'll look at that.

631
01:02:22,079 --> 01:02:26,319
» Yeah.
>> United Church.

632
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:30,960
» Yeah. the United Church is a healing
fund

633
01:02:28,559 --> 01:02:36,240
to which we could apply for some of that
because that's that kind of thing that

634
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:39,440
they probably would fit their
um

635
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:45,040
whatever.
>> I'm not sure but the Anglican church has

636
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:50,160
some kind of healing fund as well.
>> Yeah. Well,

637
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:54,160
» yeah. Approach.
So, is that drafting of another letter

638
01:02:51,760 --> 01:03:00,240
to make those relationships?
Just a thought maybe.

639
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:05,280
» Could do, but we can do it by just in
person.

640
01:03:02,559 --> 01:03:09,680
» Yeah, that'd be good.
And then would we because they did some

641
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:15,520
donations like
again like when we build relationships,

642
01:03:12,559 --> 01:03:20,880
we want to encourage people through like
acknowledging and things like that. So,

643
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,880
» yeah.

644
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:35,680
So, do we have a cost associated with
this

645
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:37,760
that we could ballpark at least the
>> public space?

646
01:03:37,119 --> 01:03:40,880
» Mhm.
>> I thought it was around $1,500 was what

647
01:03:40,319 --> 01:03:42,720
was
>> Wow.

648
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:46,400
» I thought that's what it was, but I
don't have the report that I wrote to

649
01:03:44,799 --> 01:03:50,079
council at the time.
>> No, actually, it's right here. Um the

650
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:55,359
budget is $1,1500.
The size of the bed was 6 and 12 by 3

651
01:03:52,720 --> 01:04:01,200
and 1/2 ft. Cost of flowers and soils
expected to be 1500 and $500 each year

652
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:06,160
for plants and projects.
>> Okay. So first is one to 1500 and then

653
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:09,440
each additional year is 500
>> not including the cost of flower and the

654
01:04:07,839 --> 01:04:12,480
soil which is expected to be another
1500

655
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:16,480
» on top of every year. Well, I have
minutes.

656
01:04:13,359 --> 01:04:21,280
» You don't cost that much for for
>> the initial the initial flower was 1,500

657
01:04:19,359 --> 01:04:25,520
and annually 500 for the flowers because
you'll already have the so you might

658
01:04:22,559 --> 01:04:31,079
» The flowers the flowers are perennials
so you don't replace them every year.

659
01:04:27,359 --> 01:04:31,079
They're perennial flowers.

660
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:36,400
» I think we were considering there might
be some damage or animals or something

661
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:40,240
else.
>> It was just a safety net, right?

662
01:04:38,079 --> 01:04:42,480
» That's a safety net.
That's a pretty generous safety net.

663
01:04:42,079 --> 01:04:47,839
Like
>> it is actually [laughter]

664
01:04:44,799 --> 01:04:50,720
my my annual dying at 200.
>> Yeah. Yeah.

665
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:54,880
» What was the what were the dimensions
you mentioned there? They sounded

666
01:04:52,480 --> 01:05:02,079
smaller like three and a half
>> six and a half by three and a half.

667
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:07,039
» So it wasn't a very large garden bed.
Um, but it was budgeted for 1,00 to,500

668
01:05:04,799 --> 01:05:10,880
and then like I said 1,500 cost and
flowers and soils

669
01:05:08,079 --> 01:05:14,960
» and council approved how big a space?
Not six and a half. Like obviously

670
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:17,920
there's some like overflow but we have
to have everything in the bed was the

671
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:20,960
requirement, right?
>> Yes. Everything has to be in the bed. If

672
01:05:19,599 --> 01:05:25,039
it's outside of the bed, it needs to go
back to council because the anything

673
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:28,160
outside the bed was being maintained by
the municipality. Anything inside the

674
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:30,400
bed was being maintained by the
committee.

675
01:05:28,799 --> 01:05:34,240
» Okay. So, this this is one thing we do
have to consider when people do go to

676
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:38,400
memorial places. If you've gone to any
of the memorial places around our

677
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:41,280
region, um they're hanging things in
trees, they're hanging things, they're

678
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:44,720
putting things on the ground, they're
putting things in. So, we'd have to

679
01:05:43,039 --> 01:05:49,280
ensure that people are aware like if
you're going to add to this memorial, it

680
01:05:46,319 --> 01:05:54,960
has to go in the box. Then, we have to
be aware that should it expand,

681
01:05:52,319 --> 01:05:59,839
then the next group needs to know that
maybe we need to take this other

682
01:05:56,880 --> 01:06:04,640
structure outside. So the flower bed
could be and and this is just thought

683
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:09,680
the flower bed could be smaller than
that 6 and 1/2 and then you have an

684
01:06:06,799 --> 01:06:13,039
actual place to put
>> additional things in because because

685
01:06:11,359 --> 01:06:16,319
there is an honoring and leaving some
stuff there, right?

686
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:22,480
» What about building
something uh above the ground? Um, like

687
01:06:20,319 --> 01:06:26,559
you have your space with your flowers
and everything, but I mean uh if you

688
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:31,200
build a structure in the shape of a
heart and and then have little uh

689
01:06:30,319 --> 01:06:33,920
shelves.
>> Oh yeah. Around the heart

690
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:38,160
» things. Yeah.
>> Yeah. And then that way people could put

691
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:44,240
moccasins or
tobacco or you know candy on those

692
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:51,520
little shelves. I don't know if or hang
we could even hang something from the

693
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:53,680
» uh like say a crystal sun ray catcher or
something some kind of

694
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:59,200
» people will
>> yeah from the middle and uh you know

695
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:02,960
» there could be
>> I would like that

696
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:08,400
» round the flower bed there could
actually be a paved area so that if

697
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:11,440
people brought stuff
>> that increases cost.

698
01:07:10,799 --> 01:07:15,920
» Yeah.
>> Yeah. But I mean in the future like I

699
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:20,960
mean aside from the flower bed for now.
>> But I mean consider building outside.

700
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:24,000
» Yeah.
>> Something that holds something.

701
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:27,760
» Yeah.
>> Yeah. It could be

702
01:07:25,359 --> 01:07:31,276
» We don't have any restrictions on
building up, do we? [laughter]

703
01:07:33,839 --> 01:07:39,760
» An artificial tree built. I thought
>> it having shelves in place with

704
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:43,920
branches.
>> Yeah, you could do that. I thought that

705
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:48,799
was one of the discussions that that
>> was really sounded nice

706
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:54,240
» because you know a lot of native artists
uh who do uh native art usually do a

707
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:56,720
tree of life.
>> Yeah.

708
01:07:55,039 --> 01:07:59,039
» Yeah. A tree of life would be really
nice, you know.

709
01:07:57,520 --> 01:08:05,760
» Yeah.
>> We we should we should

710
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:10,079
we should plant a white pine.
>> White pine. Yeah. Well, the only thing

711
01:08:08,079 --> 01:08:15,039
about planting a white pine is it won't
fit in the box like in the end. Like it

712
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:19,120
will in the beginning, but in the end
when it's this big, it will be the

713
01:08:17,359 --> 01:08:24,319
entire box. Yeah.
>> True. So, let's slightly bigger box.

714
01:08:22,799 --> 01:08:27,640
» Yeah. Well, [laughter] you've been
approved for

715
01:08:29,199 --> 01:08:35,600
» So, I think that that realistically I
think our costs were a little high

716
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:40,080
there. Um, I think 1,500 probably would
encapsulate everything, including the

717
01:08:37,839 --> 01:08:43,120
soil, the plants, and the planter box,
because I remember looking up the

718
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:48,480
planter box at the time, and I believe
it was around $800 for the box itself

719
01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:54,319
from Sprout, Inc., which I think was
what the company was. Um, if you were

720
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:58,799
still going to go with that,
um, that would leave you

721
01:08:57,440 --> 01:09:03,279
$1,000.
>> Yeah. Because if we

722
01:09:00,480 --> 01:09:07,120
» if with the garden if we um I don't like
the idea of purchasing a plastic box.

723
01:09:05,359 --> 01:09:10,960
I'm sorry. [laughter]
>> Like using an organic material like we

724
01:09:09,279 --> 01:09:14,319
could get rough on lumber and make one
for well under

725
01:09:13,359 --> 01:09:19,279
» Yeah.
>> Yeah. And with the size of the with the

726
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:23,359
size of the garden, it's not going to
need a lot of soil. And it's just the

727
01:09:21,199 --> 01:09:26,400
plants, the perennial plants,
>> which are more expensive, right? Like a

728
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:31,400
perennial plant can run anywhere
between$10 to $20 per plant.

729
01:09:32,159 --> 01:09:37,520
» You can ask the best idea. I'm just I'm
just throwing this out because I know

730
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:42,080
we've discussed it. If you're talking
about selling the plants or or donating

731
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:46,880
the plants to people to do this every
year, wouldn't you want to have plants

732
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:50,960
that come out at the end of the year?
>> Kind of have like a a new like a

733
01:09:48,799 --> 01:09:54,400
awakening every spring like let's plant
this again. like just to honor it

734
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:58,000
instead of just we can forget about it
because they're going to grow again, but

735
01:09:55,679 --> 01:10:01,840
like intentionally every year planting
new flowers.

736
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:06,159
» That's the intention. Yeah, definitely.
>> We could or we could even do a a hybrid

737
01:10:04,719 --> 01:10:10,640
where we're doing
>> the border replant every year and the

738
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:14,000
center of the plants being
>> we could probably also like separate

739
01:10:12,480 --> 01:10:18,880
some of our own plants in our gardens
and add to it. Like I have perennial

740
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:22,719
irises and hostas that I can donate.
I'll have like tons of them. But I think

741
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:26,400
our vision was that they're going to be
orange or the color scheme is orange,

742
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:30,748
» right?
>> So, as long as your plants are orange,

743
01:10:28,728 --> 01:10:30,748
[laughter]

744
01:10:32,159 --> 01:10:38,760
» it's nice to have some, you know, maybe
traditional healing plants as well.

745
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:51,920
» Tobacco seeds. [laughter]
>> Well, you can plant you could plant.

746
01:10:49,679 --> 01:10:59,199
» Okay. and we need to associate a cost to
it. So, we we've talked about the box

747
01:10:55,920 --> 01:11:03,040
being 6 1/2 by 3 and 1/2 ft. Um, we've
taken into consideration that there

748
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:08,480
needs to be a place to put things within
that box because anything outside of

749
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:14,159
that, like there has to be a clear a
clear idea of why we're putting this

750
01:11:10,239 --> 01:11:18,000
memorial there and then coming up with a
cost to support it because it's

751
01:11:16,480 --> 01:11:24,320
something we want to do in the spring.
So again, are we are we budgeting

752
01:11:21,440 --> 01:11:28,560
towards this of like $1,000 and kind of
like you said, Joan, we have some,

753
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:33,360
pardon me, opportunity to have a box
built for us rather than a bought box

754
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:38,000
and then possible [clears throat]
donations for people to and then how do

755
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:42,000
we get that out there that like, hey,
you can buy a plant or are they just

756
01:11:40,719 --> 01:11:46,080
buying their own plants and then going
and like

757
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:48,640
» planting it? But that's what I'm saying
like like there has to be some sort of

758
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:53,760
like
>> this is the day, this is the plant

759
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:56,719
ready, come in and buy your thing or you
know. Yeah.

760
01:11:54,640 --> 01:12:00,400
» There. Okay. I like that. I didn't think
>> and we can even convince Home Hardware

761
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:03,840
to bring some of their plants there and
sell them on the spot and then have a

762
01:12:02,159 --> 01:12:07,840
ceremony and then if people want to buy
a plant to put one in, they can.

763
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:12,800
» You know, there would have to be a set
number like this is the vision and you

764
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:17,199
can buy these plants in honor of people,
>> you know.

765
01:12:14,719 --> 01:12:19,920
Not only are honorariums for elders, but
they're also for knowledge keepers. So,

766
01:12:18,719 --> 01:12:23,040
if you're going to do something along
this line, too,

767
01:12:22,159 --> 01:12:24,880
» you need an honorarium.
>> You need an honorarium.

768
01:12:24,159 --> 01:12:27,120
» Yeah.
>> Yeah. If if you're doing ceremony,

769
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:33,440
right?
>> Yes. Yes. Yeah. So, I think that we

770
01:12:31,199 --> 01:12:39,040
should still just budget $1,000 for this
event.

771
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:45,520
» Okay. How about we How about um I'm
willing to go to Home Hardware and get

772
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:52,560
um estimate for the the wood for making
the thing. Um who Joan, you sound like

773
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:56,080
you you know about plants. Why why don't
you do a little bit of research and come

774
01:12:54,320 --> 01:13:02,480
up with a list of plants that would be
>> Well, the nice thing is Eric Bordalus

775
01:12:58,480 --> 01:13:07,600
and his wife are landscape designers. So
they are they have huge knowledge. So

776
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:11,120
last year when we talked about this, I
did talk to him about it. So he can just

777
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:13,280
rattle off. They can come up.
>> Well, let's do that.

778
01:13:12,719 --> 01:13:18,480
» Because
>> yeah,

779
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:23,040
» I mean, as I said, I think I can get
money through the United Church healing

780
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:28,640
healing fund. So if we but we need to
have a budget for that. So, if you could

781
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:34,800
go back to them and, you know, get a
list of plants and estimate cost.

782
01:13:31,440 --> 01:13:39,760
» I'll do the the estimate of the planter.
How high do you want the planter?

783
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:44,400
» Like two feet around.
>> I'd say two feet.

784
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:50,239
» Yeah. Okay.
>> Okay. So, we're estimating 1,000. Sorry,

785
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:52,960
» Yep.
>> That sounds good.

786
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:55,520
» You good with that, darling?
>> Yeah.

787
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:07,000
So, we're going to move on to the next
thing on the work plans.

788
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:11,440
» Yeah, sorry.
>> That's okay.

789
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:15,520
» I'm busy eating. [laughter]
>> We all did that.

790
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:21,600
» Just trying to keep us on track.
>> Community relationships and partnerships

791
01:14:18,480 --> 01:14:26,560
ongoing. Um, community events, blueberry
festival, orange shirt day, the gallow

792
01:14:24,239 --> 01:14:31,920
awards, um, opportunities for
collaboration

793
01:14:28,159 --> 01:14:40,400
will be scored as they arise,
input on municipal project as requested

794
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:44,560
per the 26 to 31 strategic plan. Um I
don't know if we've seen any of that but

795
01:14:42,239 --> 01:14:49,120
uh anyway the events [clears throat] and
the commemoration ongoing annual

796
01:14:46,719 --> 01:14:54,239
blueberry festival orange shirt day the
TRC gala awards

797
01:14:52,080 --> 01:15:00,400
communication and public information.
This is new. So we need a we have to

798
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:05,920
have a website with recent information,
events, activities, land acknowledgement

799
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:11,040
and if approved with audible
demonstration. A Facebook page request

800
01:15:08,719 --> 01:15:17,520
has been sent to CAO with detailed
information for review. So I don't know

801
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:22,159
if there's any movement on those things.
Uh creation of a traditional protocols

802
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:26,960
guide for distribution.
This is new uh create information to be

803
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:30,800
shared with the general public regarding
traditional protocols such as

804
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:36,560
information on honorarium smudging
presenting tobacco etc. Um,

805
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:40,320
okay.
>> So, that's one. If you're hoping to

806
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:46,080
actually create and distribute, unique
printing costs,

807
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:49,600
» we can check with Qi2 for support in
that way.

808
01:15:49,199 --> 01:15:52,880
» Yeah.
>> And the reality is on your work plan.

809
01:15:52,480 --> 01:15:57,360
» Yeah.
>> There has to be some sort of idea on how

810
01:15:54,719 --> 01:16:03,120
to get to it, right?
>> Yeah. So, the reality is like to do the

811
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:06,480
We won't be printing this year. we would
be printing, let's say, in January,

812
01:16:05,199 --> 01:16:11,199
right? Like it would it's going to take
a lot of work to pull that together. So

813
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:18,320
on this thing, the only thing that
requires funding for this year is the

814
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:24,000
garden and the gala and the um elder
rocks for action.

815
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:26,960
» We don't have much extra day stuff.
>> No,

816
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:33,440
I don't think there's been any funds
allocated. Normally it's just we join in

817
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:40,080
with whatever Slifna or Chogan is doing.
Yeah. Friendship center. Thank you. Last

818
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:48,320
year we did the u on orange shirt day uh
we went out with uh Brent and uh Joan

819
01:16:44,159 --> 01:16:54,960
and we did the filming of how to say the
town's name right

820
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:58,960
» and we gave everybody gift cards to try
>> or or actually most of them did pretty

821
01:16:57,440 --> 01:17:03,679
well. [laughter]
>> I was amazed.

822
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:10,960
So that was a little side activity that
we did for on shirt day and the uh

823
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:14,560
» uh it was edited into one piece by Brent
and uh it turned out really good.

824
01:17:13,523 --> 01:17:17,280
[laughter]
>> We can do something like that this year

825
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:19,760
coming up then.
>> I don't know what we're going to do,

826
01:17:19,418 --> 01:17:23,840
[laughter]
>> but we'd like to do another educational

827
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:29,040
video on the same lines. We just need to
figure out what the topic would be.

828
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:32,080
» So we did buy the gift cards. Yeah.
>> How much were the gift cards then? Like

829
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:34,560
50 bucks, 100 bucks. What were you
doing? $10

830
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:37,120
» each
20 for $10 each.

831
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:38,960
» 20 for 10. So 200 bucks.
>> Yeah,

832
01:17:37,440 --> 01:17:44,560
» that's good. That's still good. So
>> yeah. And then I brought some out from

833
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:47,560
my quil $25 ones. We we gave out some
more.

834
01:17:48,159 --> 01:17:53,760
» Those were donated.
>> The gift cards were well received.

835
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:57,760
» Yeah. Well, getting to like learn the
word is good.

836
01:17:55,280 --> 01:18:01,520
» And then Blueberry Festival. So two
honorariums.

837
01:18:00,239 --> 01:18:05,040
We didn't.
>> What did we do for blueberry festival

838
01:18:03,440 --> 01:18:09,920
before? What's
>> rocks to action? It was $250.

839
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:12,640
» Yeah. The one in Hudson. But we also had
the We entered the Banic Bake Off. Oh,

840
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:15,840
yeah.
>> Oh, yeah.

841
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:19,840
» We came.
>> Was there a fee with that? There was no

842
01:18:17,440 --> 01:18:23,120
fee with that. Was there
just been your shirt?

843
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:28,400
» We made our costumes. So,
>> yeah, like Darlene and I paid for all

844
01:18:26,239 --> 01:18:32,960
that. I think Joan took care of that.
Oh,

845
01:18:30,239 --> 01:18:38,719
» they were surprised after
I went to Giant Tiger and I just bought

846
01:18:34,719 --> 01:18:44,569
$10, no six or $7 shirts that I think we
made about 10 of them for everybody.

847
01:18:42,239 --> 01:18:48,000
» We just painted them.
[laughter]

848
01:18:46,239 --> 01:18:52,800
» We painted a Sasquatch on
>> Oh,

849
01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:58,640
» because we were team team Sab, which is
Sab is the word for Sasquatch,

850
01:18:55,040 --> 01:19:03,760
» right? So, we honored the the Sasquatch
or the Sabbak [laughter]

851
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:11,199
part of our team.
>> We even had the guy who dressed up in a

852
01:19:07,679 --> 01:19:16,960
as a Sasquatch. He came by. He came
through the event and

853
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:20,199
» he's gone. [laughter]
>> There were those

854
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:24,480
big time.
>> Was it Dave?

855
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:29,840
» No, it was Eric Ransky.
>> Oh. Well, Eric would have had fun yet.

856
01:19:28,480 --> 01:19:35,060
» He just ended up chasing him for a
little while and he had run into

857
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:35,060
[laughter]

858
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:46,480
» That's so cute.
>> Okay, so right now for that is like 450

859
01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:50,880
for this those two items.
>> So that's 1450 and just stitch. So I

860
01:19:49,199 --> 01:19:56,000
will I want to take into consideration
right now um the rocks to action over

861
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:59,360
the past few years have been donated and
then there's been some stuff. So we

862
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:03,920
don't have those people a part of this
committee anymore.

863
01:20:01,199 --> 01:20:09,199
So we do have to consider
>> well we can ask if he wants to do that

864
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:14,880
again you know just on his own but I
mean uh we'll help with the authorian if

865
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:18,960
it's needed.
>> I would hope. Yeah. Because we use that

866
01:20:16,719 --> 01:20:24,719
as an education right. Yeah.
>> So, but I'm just thinking for like the

867
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:27,920
rocks, the paint stuff, those were in
kind before.

868
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:31,600
» Yeah, we still have that whole kit. We
have everything still. So, we have we

869
01:20:30,239 --> 01:20:38,320
purchased everything. We purchased
chairs, umbrellas, we we've got a popup

870
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:42,480
thing, a popup thing now. We have the
tablecloths. We have all the art

871
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:46,640
supplies. It's all in a bin. We just
grab the bin and go and get rocks and

872
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:51,920
get an elder.
So hire an elder to do it and last year

873
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:54,960
we had we've had two different elders
each time. So

874
01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:59,679
» that's why I was asking like because
last year there was an increase in

875
01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:03,199
honorarium. So that's why I'm trying to
figure out like we can't just give one,

876
01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:06,159
right?
>> We had just one person, didn't we,

877
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:09,360
Megan?
>> I thought you had only one person.

878
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:12,320
» We had one person.
>> You're hoping for two. Yeah. You would

879
01:21:10,719 --> 01:21:16,640
give both people an honorarium. you're
not going to be

880
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:23,199
» we just need one person with him because
last year what happened last year was um

881
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:28,159
because there were other events going on
in Hudson where before we were the only

882
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:32,640
event so people came and sat where
people flowed through this time. So la

883
01:21:30,480 --> 01:21:38,480
the first year we were able to have the
elder do a presentation because everyone

884
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:45,920
was sitting. But last year the elder had
to stop and talk to each group that came

885
01:21:41,440 --> 01:21:49,920
through. So it wasn't just one thing. So
and he actually did like a little walk

886
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:54,560
around town too. So which was
interesting. So it sort of changes based

887
01:21:52,239 --> 01:21:59,360
on how what's going to happen in Hudson,
right? Because last year Hudson had sort

888
01:21:57,040 --> 01:22:03,840
of like a little fair. They had like
history stuff in the hall. They had

889
01:22:01,199 --> 01:22:07,679
stuff in the seniors. There was other
stuff. There was a little dog show

890
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:12,760
thing. So, there was lots of other
things to move around. People move

891
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:12,760
through the community.

892
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:24,400
» This cabinet, I know I'm moving on maybe
a little bit too quickly, but it's not

893
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:30,080
on our stuff here.
>> The cabinet. Uh, was that in kind? No,

894
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:34,880
we bought it from last year's money with
our extra money that we had at the end

895
01:22:31,679 --> 01:22:37,360
of the year.
>> Yeah,

896
01:22:35,199 --> 01:22:41,120
» we have 26 cents left.
>> Yeah,

897
01:22:39,679 --> 01:22:46,320
» I did good spending, not
>> you did. You did good.

898
01:22:42,639 --> 01:22:50,159
» Appreciate you, Megan. [laughter]
That I purchased Reflections and I

899
01:22:48,900 --> 01:22:54,800
[clears throat] ended up getting it on
Black Friday and everything was like 10%

900
01:22:52,480 --> 01:22:59,199
off was free shipping. So, I was able to
get $130 more of items, which was really

901
01:22:58,480 --> 01:23:01,840
nice.
>> Yes.

902
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:05,440
» I just have that box in my office right
now.

903
01:23:03,199 --> 01:23:08,159
» Awesome. That's what we need.
>> Especially going forward, right? We can

904
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:11,600
use that. Yeah.
>> It's nice that it just the supplies just

905
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:15,360
add up
>> after year and you'll have your

906
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:21,600
» I got I got a pretty good variety.
There's mugs, there's aprons, there's

907
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:24,639
dish towels, there's puzzles.
You can come down and see it if you

908
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:29,199
want. This is swag.
>> Yeah. This is either stuff that you can

909
01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:31,920
So, so most of it obviously doesn't
they're not all the same, right? So,

910
01:23:30,639 --> 01:23:37,280
everybody who's going to come in might
get something different. Um or

911
01:23:35,440 --> 01:23:40,320
potentially you put them together if
you're trying to do a silent auction

912
01:23:38,639 --> 01:23:44,639
instead of swag if you can't get the
swag. You put them together in bundles.

913
01:23:42,719 --> 01:23:48,080
» Yes. Cuz they all sound like they could
be in bundled.

914
01:23:45,679 --> 01:23:50,560
» Most of this is um store manager can
have designed. Most of it, not all of

915
01:23:50,159 --> 01:23:53,840
it.
>> She's on a She's on a rise right now.

916
01:23:52,239 --> 01:23:59,920
That's amazing. She's doing great. You
saw her artwork on the IFNA vehicle. She

917
01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:03,600
did the bombers jerseys like
>> her scarf and she

918
01:24:02,480 --> 01:24:07,280
» store magic.
>> Oh,

919
01:24:04,480 --> 01:24:08,960
» there are a lot of talented artists.
>> Okay.

920
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:11,199
» But yeah, you guys are welcome to stop
downstairs before I leave if you want to

921
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:13,600
take a look.
>> Totally will.

922
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:20,320
» Yeah, me too.
>> Okay, so right now we're sitting at

923
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:25,120
roughly $1,400 which would play into,000
for the gala. I love her artwork.

924
01:24:23,679 --> 01:24:28,080
» Oh, yeah.
>> Beautiful.

925
01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:32,639
» That's a nice scarf.
>> She's chasing.

926
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:35,600
» If you're very convinced that you're
going to be able to gain donations from

927
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:38,960
people for the galla, then it's awesome.
Should be sufficient to

928
01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:44,880
» I think we'll have no problem getting
another $5,000 from the community. Like

929
01:24:41,679 --> 01:24:48,800
I like easy and more.
>> You're absolutely right.

930
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:54,080
» Yeah. Well, as soon as we get them.
>> Yeah, I think so. So we would need what

931
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:59,760
125
of some things from people.

932
01:24:57,679 --> 01:25:02,880
» Oh, you mean for like swag?
>> Oh, yeah.

933
01:25:01,853 --> 01:25:08,480
[laughter]
>> 125 items for swag. Okay, good idea.

934
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:12,560
Good. I mean like there could be a
potential now for like some stickers if

935
01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:17,920
we get a logo like some of those things
that could be a little bit more like

936
01:25:14,719 --> 01:25:21,840
» associated with the gala that took place
because I mean everybody likes stickers.

937
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:25,920
You put them on your phone or
>> water bottles.

938
01:25:22,719 --> 01:25:29,440
» Yeah. my life.
>> To get say the friendship center to

939
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:33,840
donate like
>> a stress ball

940
01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:38,120
» or you know the hospital to to donate
>> women's shelter always has a

941
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:42,960
» swag.
>> Exactly. Yeah.

942
01:25:40,239 --> 01:25:49,014
» What's the support services again? They
always have something good to do. Shabin

943
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:52,800
Robin Williams fans
[clears throat]

944
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:59,120
» for this year for the logo. We should
just use the sulode if we can use the

945
01:25:55,120 --> 01:26:01,840
sulode logo on the bag on the swag bag
for now.

946
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:06,080
» How many packs do we have downstairs? I
don't know if we need permission. Uh

947
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:10,880
there's
still it would be nice to have it from

948
01:26:08,159 --> 01:26:15,120
that to show that it is municipality
that

949
01:26:11,440 --> 01:26:18,960
» Brian HR purchased a whole bunch of
grocery bags

950
01:26:16,719 --> 01:26:23,040
» um when we were giving out stuff to our
staff. Um I can see if maybe we can

951
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:26,639
donate those like if the municipality
can donate them. Mike can

952
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:30,639
» I have a question too. So, uh, Darlene
brought up a big a good question. Like,

953
01:26:28,969 --> 01:26:36,159
[clears throat] municipality, we're
we're a municipal

954
01:26:32,639 --> 01:26:40,000
Oh, I can't even speak. Um, committee.
>> When we do an event like this, like, is

955
01:26:38,159 --> 01:26:44,320
there anything that bars us from getting
our own logo for these events like that

956
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:48,480
we're hosting? Like, do we like, you
know, how on the standies we had in

957
01:26:46,239 --> 01:26:53,679
partnership with your logo and then the
municipality? Oh my goodness. The

958
01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:57,840
community
logo. [laughter]

959
01:26:54,800 --> 01:27:04,080
So uh and then it said with partnership
with truth and reconciliation committee.

960
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:07,440
So like is there any anything we need to
know about that

961
01:27:05,199 --> 01:27:10,320
» logo you're asking about? Is that
>> I don't know because I mean that could

962
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:13,040
be in the future
>> in the future.

963
01:27:11,199 --> 01:27:17,440
» Yeah, it could be a local contest like
there there are opportunities to make it

964
01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:22,400
big. Do we have
>> to keep it under the Sula municipal logo

965
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:25,360
or is there an opportunity because I
don't know what I don't know what that

966
01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:29,760
conversation is.
>> So I don't know that's the best answer

967
01:27:28,239 --> 01:27:38,800
to give you. I don't know and I would
have to ask. Um as far as I understand

968
01:27:32,639 --> 01:27:45,199
it um any committee that is under a
municipal umbrella does have to

969
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:48,960
reference the municipality. Um, I'm not
sure to what extent and I will have to

970
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:52,239
ask. It's an answer I just don't have.
>> And you know what? That's cool because I

971
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:56,400
think that'll help clarify the next
couple of year plans, right? Because if

972
01:27:55,040 --> 01:28:02,560
we're saying this is the truth and
reconciliation committee, but it's

973
01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:06,400
obviously under the municipal then then
it's just saying but we're identifying

974
01:28:04,239 --> 01:28:12,000
because I think was it public works that
had the like the train over the silicone

975
01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:18,840
bridge like that was kind of associated
with them but I don't know like so it's

976
01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:18,840
a good thing just to ask.

977
01:28:21,679 --> 01:28:28,639
» So Joan, you're good with a thousand?
Yeah. Yep. I'm like Michelle, I'm pretty

978
01:28:26,639 --> 01:28:31,280
confident that there's lots of support
out there for this project. So,

979
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:35,120
» definitely
>> I'm not too

980
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:38,480
» It just that if we have the $1,000, it
gives us the logistics that we're not

981
01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:45,199
waiting for money to come in, right? We
we know certain things that we have to

982
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:50,120
pay for, we can do.
>> I like that. I'm confident with that.

983
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:59,520
» All right. So anyway, um back to the
agenda. Number eight, uh we talked about

984
01:28:55,679 --> 01:29:05,440
the liability concerns. Uh so that's
done. And then A2 is the cabinet. And

985
01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:12,560
the cabinets are okay.
>> The cabinet is purchased. It's sitting

986
01:29:07,679 --> 01:29:17,840
in my garage, but when I cracked my rib,
I could not build a cabinet. So So I'm

987
01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:22,159
planning when I get back, I'm going to
spend a day go and the library. I'm

988
01:29:20,480 --> 01:29:26,320
going to talk to because there's been a
change of management at the library and

989
01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:29,840
we were talking to the old management.
So, we'll reconnect with the new

990
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:33,679
management and I'm just going to
actually try to assemble it actually

991
01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:39,520
there rather than try to move it in the
middle of the winter. Glass cabinet

992
01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:45,199
assembled frozen. So, um just assemble
it there because the um the artifact is

993
01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:51,199
in the basement of the library and then
we'll just bring it up and make sure it

994
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:56,480
» it it's in it can stand and be in there.
>> How long is it in the library for?

995
01:29:53,760 --> 01:30:03,199
» Hopefully forever. Or if someone wants
to borrow it, we can move it, but

996
01:29:58,639 --> 01:30:08,360
hopefully forever with, you know, Yeah.
Get it out there. Get it out of the

997
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:08,360
basement.

998
01:30:08,719 --> 01:30:13,440
and she's not
>> great. Thanks.

999
01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:16,480
» You did leave.
>> Okay.

1000
01:30:14,639 --> 01:30:20,320
» She's not in the in the waiting room.
So, um I'm guessing she either lost

1001
01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:22,400
connectivity or had to leave.
>> Oh,

1002
01:30:20,639 --> 01:30:27,400
» she sent a note. She's put it in the
note. She had to leave.

1003
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:27,400
» Okay.

1004
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:37,440
» So, number three, the updated work plan.
Everything seemed to be okay.

1005
01:30:35,120 --> 01:30:39,040
turn out to be going to class tomorrow.
Like

1006
01:30:37,679 --> 01:30:45,280
» tomorrow? Yes.
>> There is one thing now [laughter]

1007
01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:51,440
want to leave Naomi. I'm like I'm sorry.
Now that we have Michelle and Elvis who

1008
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:55,600
are a part of it, um was there any ideas
going forward for Blueberry Festival

1009
01:30:53,440 --> 01:31:01,120
events that you had or you good with
what we're going forward with? So there

1010
01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:06,560
just to think of in the future, but so
far we have the rocks to action that the

1011
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:11,199
TRC but when if there is anything that
you're thinking of in the future that

1012
01:31:09,120 --> 01:31:17,239
could be considered for the work plan
would be good

1013
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:17,239
» and organic offic

1014
01:31:18,483 --> 01:31:20,503
[laughter]

1015
01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:30,000
um now I know that here we have like a
creation of traditional protocol calls

1016
01:31:27,199 --> 01:31:34,960
guide for distribution.
So thoughts what Megan and I kind of

1017
01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:38,960
brought to our attention is like even in
the work plan there has to be some sort

1018
01:31:36,719 --> 01:31:42,960
of like milestones or structures you
guys are going to be looking at. So if

1019
01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:46,719
that create information to be shared
with the general public when you're

1020
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:51,120
working with knowledge keepers and
you're working with those who are like

1021
01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:56,400
having some thoughts that like there is
some exchange of cultural protocol as

1022
01:31:53,520 --> 01:32:01,360
well as those who aren't culturally um
protocol like there are other ways that

1023
01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:05,920
you need to be engaging. Um, I do need
to bring to attention that like even

1024
01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:09,840
though we're indigenous, not everyone is
traditional. They're faith-based as

1025
01:32:07,760 --> 01:32:14,800
well. And we can't just signify that
both because they are both represented

1026
01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:21,360
by First Nations people. Um, again, this
also goes into the aspect that we have a

1027
01:32:18,560 --> 01:32:26,719
lot of people who are non-indigenous
that have knowledge and have had that

1028
01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:31,199
opportunity to share. So how like this
isn't just about like

1029
01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:34,800
from our perspective and I I say our
perspective lately this is about a

1030
01:32:33,280 --> 01:32:39,120
collective perspective going back to
that relationship building that we

1031
01:32:36,480 --> 01:32:44,239
talked about on page one like community
part relationships and partnerships. Uh

1032
01:32:41,600 --> 01:32:47,920
true reconciliation comes from healing.
Uh we can point fingers and say they

1033
01:32:46,239 --> 01:32:53,040
need to heal. However we got to point
the finger back at us. We need to heal.

1034
01:32:50,320 --> 01:32:56,880
You need to heal. Hey, the reality is
when you're open and you're a lot more

1035
01:32:54,639 --> 01:33:02,159
self-aware and you have that opportunity
and just like Darlene pointed out, we

1036
01:32:58,880 --> 01:33:05,520
have an opportunity when people are
potentially could be triggered. We don't

1037
01:33:03,679 --> 01:33:12,239
know those triggers. So, just having
those safety safety

1038
01:33:08,080 --> 01:33:16,960
safety nets in place. Um, so when we do
kind of these traditional protocols,

1039
01:33:13,920 --> 01:33:22,480
even if this kind of moves into next
year, but throughout this year, you're

1040
01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:28,400
able to build those relationships and
connections with people to see what what

1041
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:34,320
that is cuz it's it's protocols just for
even the whole municipality.

1042
01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:37,679
Like we we know a lot of people here and
you can have those relationships and and

1043
01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:42,080
you don't want them get blurred like
some are professional and some are

1044
01:33:38,960 --> 01:33:45,920
personal. So like like how do we work
with each other cuz it is about true

1045
01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:53,040
reconciliation like working with each
other communicating. So

1046
01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:59,360
» yeah I don't know what uh um when we
talk traditional and then what you

1047
01:33:56,400 --> 01:34:05,199
mentioned um is that uh a lot of our
people are not actually traditional.

1048
01:34:01,840 --> 01:34:09,920
They're traditional Christians. I mean,
they live on the land, but they still

1049
01:34:06,800 --> 01:34:13,840
practice uh Christianity.
Um, if we look at some of the

1050
01:34:11,840 --> 01:34:18,719
communities, they have more than one
different kind of church. Sandy Lake has

1051
01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:21,840
about seven different kinds of churches,
>> you know. They have Roman Catholic, they

1052
01:34:20,320 --> 01:34:23,760
have Anglican, they have
>> I don't know what else they have,

1053
01:34:23,195 --> 01:34:30,400
[laughter]
but there's like seven of them, I heard.

1054
01:34:26,639 --> 01:34:34,960
And um so there might be a whole new
[sighs and gasps]

1055
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:40,880
uh wording to I think traditional came
up at one point because u we were

1056
01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:45,520
talking about honorariums and then we
got into talking about smudging and

1057
01:34:43,440 --> 01:34:49,600
prayer and tobacco and that kind of
thing. So,

1058
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:56,560
um,
if we do honor everything,

1059
01:34:53,280 --> 01:35:04,239
the diverse spiritual practices, maybe
you could reward at some events because

1060
01:35:00,400 --> 01:35:08,000
if we have the um um
the unmarked graves and any ceremony

1061
01:35:06,400 --> 01:35:13,120
that happens there, I'm sure we're going
to end up with uh different types of

1062
01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:17,600
people who are going to be praying. Um,
look at Bill Morris.

1063
01:35:16,159 --> 01:35:22,000
» He's a what is he?
>> Reverend.

1064
01:35:18,239 --> 01:35:26,719
» Reverend. Um, and uh, you know, if he
comes to the event such as this in the

1065
01:35:24,320 --> 01:35:31,679
future, then he'll be praying in his
way. And there's a lot of other ordained

1066
01:35:29,440 --> 01:35:36,560
people in the north, right,
>> that go to school and they get their

1067
01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:39,840
» There are a lot of women.
>> Yes. A lot of women

1068
01:35:37,440 --> 01:35:45,840
» did that are doing that and they're
becoming spiritual leaders. uh that way.

1069
01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:50,560
So yeah, we may have to reconsider
learning this. Um

1070
01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:54,159
» I like that the combining of all the
different spiritual practices. That's a

1071
01:35:52,239 --> 01:35:58,639
another way of reconciliation, too,
where there's no separation between the

1072
01:35:55,920 --> 01:36:03,120
way you you have your faith because it
is all

1073
01:36:00,639 --> 01:36:06,159
it's it's all related, right? It's we're
all

1074
01:36:04,721 --> 01:36:10,239
[laughter and gasps]
>> just looking for something.

1075
01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:14,560
» Yeah. So we might want to reconsider
just just that section in the future for

1076
01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:21,280
discussion
>> and because we'd be also looking would

1077
01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:24,880
we defer this to next year and the only
reason I'm bringing that up is because

1078
01:36:22,719 --> 01:36:27,920
the money's accounted for.
>> Yeah,

1079
01:36:25,679 --> 01:36:33,520
» it does say creation for distribution.
It doesn't say actually distributed

1080
01:36:31,760 --> 01:36:38,480
» comes over this table. Okay, sounds
good. And it really might take two years

1081
01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:39,679
to create it.
>> Yeah.

1082
01:36:38,800 --> 01:36:41,120
» Yeah.
>> Yeah.

1083
01:36:39,920 --> 01:36:46,320
» Good, good points. Okay.
>> But for now, I guess the word honorarium

1084
01:36:43,360 --> 01:36:48,960
is in there. So it'll, you know, it'll
uh

1085
01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:55,280
» they'll be aware part of the
documentation for for council to to to

1086
01:36:52,800 --> 01:37:02,320
look at and realize that yeah, we've got
to pay on ourarium and uh for tobacco.

1087
01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:06,800
We might want to spend money on tobacco
under this. So

1088
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:08,800
anyway, okay. So we'll leave that for
now. Is that okay?

1089
01:37:08,239 --> 01:37:14,639
» I'm good.
>> Okay. And then uh the review of the

1090
01:37:12,560 --> 01:37:19,239
municipal policies through the cultural
lens uh cemetery bylaw

1091
01:37:19,600 --> 01:37:31,920
that's on hold. on hold as the cemetery
memorialization events uh with the

1092
01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:39,199
children of um went missing or un or
were buried in armor graves for the

1093
01:37:35,199 --> 01:37:45,760
zone. Um and bringing the children home
initiative hasn't really started doing

1094
01:37:41,600 --> 01:37:51,199
that yet. So we're still on hold for
that. So that'll be the updated work

1095
01:37:49,360 --> 01:37:58,080
plan I guess which will be presented
tomorrow. Okay. And then number four 84.

1096
01:37:56,480 --> 01:38:02,040
So we'll just move on. Chamber of
Commerce events calendar.

1097
01:38:02,480 --> 01:38:09,119
Want to Oh, that was Michelle that has
it.

1098
01:38:06,480 --> 01:38:13,520
» Oh yes. Um
yeah. So, the

1099
01:38:11,199 --> 01:38:18,239
chamber when I went there, they were
talking about being able to support any

1100
01:38:16,480 --> 01:38:24,880
events and stuff that are going on by
putting them on our municipal calendar.

1101
01:38:20,719 --> 01:38:31,280
Um, it's it's pretty easy to just go on
the the site, fill in the information,

1102
01:38:28,960 --> 01:38:38,320
and it gets put up on the on the
calendar. And the chamber may also um

1103
01:38:35,679 --> 01:38:42,560
help promote that through uh I think
people sign up for a text and you get

1104
01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:47,920
all your your events like even bombers
games or whatever that people want to

1105
01:38:45,679 --> 01:38:53,520
promote out there. Um so if we can put
it through those those channels as well

1106
01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:57,199
to get it pushed out there and and then
the chamber does stuff on Facebook and

1107
01:38:55,600 --> 01:39:00,719
other things as well.
>> Nice. So they take on some of that

1108
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:04,400
communication for us because that is
good. Yeah, we're we're like we're

1109
01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:08,239
coming up to some roadblocks and it's
not negative, it's just like how do we

1110
01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:12,000
work within this? So, that's awesome.
Awesome to hear.

1111
01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:16,960
» I'll check with um Christine about being
able to do this like and if if if it's

1112
01:39:15,360 --> 01:39:21,600
with a fee or not. I think it's a fairly
minimal fee, but if um if they would

1113
01:39:19,199 --> 01:39:25,520
just do that for the community as well.
>> Yeah. If there's a fee, let us know.

1114
01:39:23,360 --> 01:39:31,119
» Yeah. Yeah. Just for the for the chamber
part of things. Um, otherwise like the

1115
01:39:28,080 --> 01:39:36,119
the municipal website with the calendar
of events, you can just do that anytime.

1116
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:44,159
Well, I'm sure that um
we'd be able to post some things on our

1117
01:39:42,239 --> 01:39:49,520
Facebook page if we if we prepared them
and stuck them in. Um, so if you did

1118
01:39:46,560 --> 01:39:54,000
want to advertise something about this
these events that we're talking about,

1119
01:39:52,080 --> 01:39:58,239
um, I just have to have the information
so I can send it for approval. That's

1120
01:39:56,080 --> 01:40:01,920
all. Or I have to have directions to
create the information so I can send it

1121
01:39:59,920 --> 01:40:04,080
for other. That's that's what we've got
going on.

1122
01:40:02,400 --> 01:40:08,239
» Right. Yeah. One thing I forgot about
that because it's been a while since I

1123
01:40:05,440 --> 01:40:12,320
was at the chamber meeting. But um one
thing that they're looking to do is to

1124
01:40:09,920 --> 01:40:17,040
have like a a a QR code, some stickers
or a pamphlet or something that you put

1125
01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:22,960
in like visitors bags that that'll have
the live calendar of events and and you

1126
01:40:20,080 --> 01:40:26,719
know even at like the Mayfair Theater
using one of those poster boards to put

1127
01:40:24,719 --> 01:40:30,080
in you know here's all your January
events, here's all your February events

1128
01:40:28,400 --> 01:40:33,760
happening in Sulao. They're talking
about life and moments, right? all the

1129
01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:39,520
little things that people get together
and put on uh because we don't have, you

1130
01:40:37,360 --> 01:40:44,000
know, movie theater and bowling alleys,
but what we do is we get together and we

1131
01:40:41,760 --> 01:40:47,280
put on we put on things that that bring
us joy, right? And so, how do you how do

1132
01:40:45,679 --> 01:40:50,960
how do people coming to the the
community find those? Well, we're going

1133
01:40:49,360 --> 01:40:54,239
to have them on the calendar. We'll have
it on that QR code that you just scan

1134
01:40:52,800 --> 01:40:56,320
and and you'll be able to see all the
events. So, that's what they're doing

1135
01:40:55,760 --> 01:40:59,320
with that.
>> Nice.

1136
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:05,840
» Thank you.
Good. Good to know.

1137
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:09,679
» Now, before we go too much further,
shouldn't we go back and do a motion for

1138
01:41:07,679 --> 01:41:12,080
the $1,000? Do we need to actually do
the motion, Megan?

1139
01:41:11,119 --> 01:41:14,639
» Oh, okay.
>> Yes, please.

1140
01:41:13,119 --> 01:41:17,920
» Yeah. So, do you want me to do the
motion?

1141
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:22,800
» Publication.
So, I make a motion that we allocate

1142
01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:31,600
$1,000
of the 2026 TRC funding towards the

1143
01:41:27,600 --> 01:41:35,080
Truth and Reconciliation Gala on
>> April 25th.

1144
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:42,280
So, we need a seconder, right?

1145
01:41:43,600 --> 01:41:50,199
» 1,000,
right?

1146
01:41:47,199 --> 01:41:50,199
Yeah,

1147
01:41:51,280 --> 01:41:54,679
he louder

1148
01:41:57,600 --> 01:42:01,080
moved. Do you second?

1149
01:42:02,239 --> 01:42:05,639
» All in favor?

1150
01:42:06,080 --> 01:42:17,119
» Yep.
Okay. $1,000 for the galla. And should

1151
01:42:12,239 --> 01:42:19,520
we do the public space $1,000 too?
>> No, I think we have lots.

1152
01:42:18,159 --> 01:42:22,000
» No, that's already been that's already
been done.

1153
01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:26,239
» Oh, okay. I didn't write it down.
>> That was before you went to council.

1154
01:42:24,880 --> 01:42:30,159
» Well, the other thing that we should
probably discuss is ticket prices. Are

1155
01:42:28,159 --> 01:42:35,840
you guys okay with us just once we
figure out I'm meeting with the caterer

1156
01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:39,199
um at the end of January to come up with
the menu? Then they'll come up with a

1157
01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:43,600
price. So once they come up with a
price, then we should just figure out

1158
01:42:41,760 --> 01:42:47,320
how much the tickets are. I think they
should not be a lot.

1159
01:42:48,320 --> 01:42:57,431
Like I I would say under $20. What do
people think of that?

1160
01:42:53,920 --> 01:42:57,431
» What again? [laughter]

1161
01:42:57,440 --> 01:43:04,639
» What I'd like to see cuz I maybe maybe
you already sent it and I didn't. This

1162
01:43:02,480 --> 01:43:09,600
is just me. Uh, I'd like to see some
kind of like estimates just for all the

1163
01:43:07,199 --> 01:43:14,080
costs associated. It just it just kind
of helps plan a little better because I

1164
01:43:11,360 --> 01:43:17,199
know you estimated 10. So, it's like,
oh, okay. And and that might be in that

1165
01:43:15,760 --> 01:43:19,600
file you sent. I'm just not going to
lie. I have

1166
01:43:17,679 --> 01:43:24,320
» Well, we won't know.
>> Yeah, we're still waiting for the prices

1167
01:43:21,199 --> 01:43:29,840
like Michelle has to secure, how much um
Nadia wants to be paid, how much the MC

1168
01:43:27,840 --> 01:43:33,040
and how much the cater those the big
ticket items. Then the other stuff is

1169
01:43:32,400 --> 01:43:38,159
smaller.
>> I don't even have an idea of like the

1170
01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:43,600
ballpark, but I said like we we do we
will be paying you for your time, but I

1171
01:43:40,719 --> 01:43:47,760
for for Nadia, but I don't know um what
our budget is because I know she's she's

1172
01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:52,080
worth a lot when you look at her four
pages of her resume. She's worth a lot.

1173
01:43:50,480 --> 01:43:56,080
» But we should lock it down. we should
try to figure out with her what her at

1174
01:43:54,239 --> 01:44:01,280
least figure out what her expectation is
because if we're going to go out and

1175
01:43:57,360 --> 01:44:05,199
secure um like a sponsor for her, we
need to know what we're what it is. So,

1176
01:44:03,440 --> 01:44:11,360
if we can if you can secure those,
Michelle, the cost of the MC, the cost

1177
01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:16,239
of the uh keynote speaker, and then I
can secure within the next couple of

1178
01:44:13,440 --> 01:44:20,080
weeks the cost of the catering, and then
from there,

1179
01:44:17,280 --> 01:44:24,320
» then we can decide and get our tickets
going. And one thing I do need to

1180
01:44:22,560 --> 01:44:27,440
mention is that if you are going into
agreements with people

1181
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:30,159
» um the only person who has the authority
to sign those is the CIO. So they would

1182
01:44:29,119 --> 01:44:32,639
need to be brought in.
>> Okay.

1183
01:44:30,560 --> 01:44:35,360
» Um and Brian would have to be the one to
do that.

1184
01:44:33,679 --> 01:44:37,600
» So like the agreement has to be brought
in.

1185
01:44:36,400 --> 01:44:40,800
» Anything that you're binding the
municipality for. Yes. Need to be

1186
01:44:39,520 --> 01:44:46,800
brought in. Yes.
>> To be discussed first before finalized.

1187
01:44:43,840 --> 01:44:50,880
» Um you can you can say yes, this is what
we want to do. I have to go take this

1188
01:44:48,719 --> 01:44:54,560
contract and get it signed. wants the
contract assigned, then you're good. If

1189
01:44:52,480 --> 01:44:56,960
he does have the authority to say no.
>> Okay. Okay.

1190
01:44:55,199 --> 01:45:00,000
» Yeah. And I did have a meeting with
Brian about this because I said, "Well,

1191
01:44:58,400 --> 01:45:03,840
how can we proceed like we're going out
and we're negotiating these things

1192
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:07,440
without like do we have to keep going
back and forth?" And he said, "No, you

1193
01:45:05,360 --> 01:45:11,520
do have the authority to do the
negotiations, but when you get to that

1194
01:45:09,119 --> 01:45:15,199
final legal contract, you don't have the
authority to sign it. Then you have to

1195
01:45:13,360 --> 01:45:20,159
just like So, you can say to her, let's
just take a figure. Let's say $2,000.

1196
01:45:18,000 --> 01:45:23,360
She wants $2,000." you can say, "Okay,
I'm going to go to the municipality and

1197
01:45:21,440 --> 01:45:28,159
we'll get everything organized." And she
might have a contract like the um Canora

1198
01:45:26,560 --> 01:45:33,760
District Services Board, like they have
a contract, but they donated it in time.

1199
01:45:30,639 --> 01:45:36,320
There's no fee. Um but if there was a
fee, Brian would have to be the one that

1200
01:45:35,520 --> 01:45:40,719
signed that.
>> Okay. One thing is it is um being able

1201
01:45:39,040 --> 01:45:43,440
to fly her here.
>> That's the That's what I was just about

1202
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:48,239
to ask. Is there travel costs
associated, which then falls under PDM

1203
01:45:46,080 --> 01:45:51,040
or a contract? So, all of this still has
to be done. Yeah, you

1204
01:45:49,280 --> 01:45:54,880
» just need to have it like itemized.
>> Yeah,

1205
01:45:51,520 --> 01:45:58,320
» I would suggest so that you you know
>> this is the itemization for what we ask

1206
01:45:57,520 --> 01:46:01,280
for.
>> Who else would like to be on the

1207
01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:05,600
subcommittee with me as we discuss like
like what we'd like her to do with that

1208
01:46:03,600 --> 01:46:10,080
and how that looks and and then we can
finalize how she brings it together and

1209
01:46:08,560 --> 01:46:12,239
» and a price on that.
>> Have three before we hit quorum.

1210
01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:14,960
» Right.
>> Once you hit quum, we have to have an

1211
01:46:13,600 --> 01:46:18,560
official meeting. It has to be streamed
and we have to be there.

1212
01:46:15,920 --> 01:46:24,000
» Right. Just remind me how many people
are on your committee already.

1213
01:46:22,239 --> 01:46:28,400
» Well, what we've been doing is we've
just been like we've been making working

1214
01:46:26,239 --> 01:46:33,119
committees like you guys did the awards,
the three of you and then like over here

1215
01:46:30,639 --> 01:46:37,840
Michelle and I. So the working committee
is sort of broken down into little

1216
01:46:35,040 --> 01:46:40,960
subsections. So even though there's six
of us on the working committee, we're

1217
01:46:39,199 --> 01:46:44,560
not all working on the same thing at one
time and at the same meeting. It's if

1218
01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:49,760
you're sitting in a room in a meeting
together. So you got that we can only

1219
01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:53,760
have three at a time, but we can all
work on it. But we can only like if

1220
01:46:52,480 --> 01:46:57,920
we're going to do the tickets, we could
have three people together and decide.

1221
01:46:55,520 --> 01:47:03,119
We could have three people like working
on the speaker, but not all together at

1222
01:47:00,800 --> 01:47:05,679
the same time. Do you understand?
>> Yeah.

1223
01:47:03,440 --> 01:47:09,280
» Yeah. That leave that contract on the
subcommittee.

1224
01:47:07,760 --> 01:47:11,840
» I I don't think it needs to come here
unless

1225
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:16,560
» Yeah. It's three people. You can only
three people on working on one thing at

1226
01:47:14,560 --> 01:47:19,760
the same time. The other option you guys
have is in your terms of reference. It

1227
01:47:18,239 --> 01:47:24,880
does say if you want more frequent
meetings for any specific purpose, we

1228
01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:27,360
could look at more than you know meeting
before February 17th.

1229
01:47:26,400 --> 01:47:34,080
» They have an ad hoc.
>> You are kind of at the mercy of when

1230
01:47:30,239 --> 01:47:40,000
council chambers is available plus when
I'm available. Um

1231
01:47:37,920 --> 01:47:44,639
because I've got it's it's your end.
I've got a lot going on. Um it it so if

1232
01:47:43,119 --> 01:47:49,600
you wanted to look at meeting more
often, we could certainly discuss it.

1233
01:47:47,280 --> 01:47:53,840
» Well, I think we should plan like
towards the end of March like that. We

1234
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:58,400
have a meeting the last week in March,
the first week in April, and the second

1235
01:47:55,600 --> 01:48:00,639
week in April.
>> Yeah.

1236
01:47:58,719 --> 01:48:02,719
» Last week in March and book them now.
Yeah.

1237
01:48:01,280 --> 01:48:06,960
» Second week in April.
>> No, first week. So we have three

1238
01:48:04,400 --> 01:48:10,159
meetings. Last week, first week of
April, first second week of April.

1239
01:48:08,960 --> 01:48:14,239
» A week for three weeks.
>> Yeah. Yeah. leading up to the event.

1240
01:48:12,400 --> 01:48:19,280
» And I agree with that because if we have
nominations, we still have to go through

1241
01:48:15,840 --> 01:48:22,719
it as a committee. Now, which which now
that Megan's brought that up,

1242
01:48:21,679 --> 01:48:26,000
» did I bring up
>> Are we going to do in camera if we know

1243
01:48:24,560 --> 01:48:29,119
people's nominations, you don't need
them want to know their nominations

1244
01:48:27,679 --> 01:48:33,520
beforehand, did
>> I thought that with the awards that

1245
01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:38,000
» we could go out out of camera? Okay.
Okay. Just just we we would premise it

1246
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:42,080
within the meeting, but we'd say like,
>> "Okay, I like that." cuz I'm like cuz

1247
01:48:40,480 --> 01:48:44,800
Darlene Brent and I talked about that
and we said how many meetings are we

1248
01:48:43,520 --> 01:48:47,600
going to have to have to go through the
nominations.

1249
01:48:46,239 --> 01:48:51,679
» All right. So, I'm looking at my
calendar for those couple of weeks. Um

1250
01:48:50,480 --> 01:48:58,800
I'm going to need a little bit of
flexibility on on what day because the

1251
01:48:55,520 --> 01:49:02,880
last Tuesday in March I will not be
here. Um so I will need a little bit of

1252
01:49:01,199 --> 01:49:06,880
flexibility to make these dates happen,
but I will have to check council

1253
01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:12,800
chambers availability as well cuz
sometimes they're both in advance. Um,

1254
01:49:09,760 --> 01:49:17,119
» we just want a day every one of those
weeks. Just one day. So, even if they

1255
01:49:14,880 --> 01:49:21,119
don't coincide with the Tuesday, just I
I like I'm just giving that

1256
01:49:18,400 --> 01:49:24,480
recommendation. Just a day a time and
then we'll have to just make it work.

1257
01:49:22,719 --> 01:49:27,440
» Do we think like March 31st? Do you
think that's too late? Like what if we

1258
01:49:25,760 --> 01:49:31,040
did it brought it up one more week and
give us one more week to like go through

1259
01:49:29,360 --> 01:49:33,600
the nominations and get the plaques?
Like

1260
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:36,080
» I'm with you. I'm with you. That's why I
say like we're

1261
01:49:34,719 --> 01:49:39,040
» second. We can go mid-Marchch and right
after March break week after.

1262
01:49:38,560 --> 01:49:41,280
» Yes.
>> Until the event.

1263
01:49:40,400 --> 01:49:44,320
» Yes.
>> At least have

1264
01:49:42,719 --> 01:49:47,440
» Doesn't matter how much time you give
people. If they're going to leave it to

1265
01:49:46,080 --> 01:49:50,320
the last minute
>> and they and they do, right? They'll

1266
01:49:49,119 --> 01:49:53,280
leave it to the last minute. So if you
give them two weeks, they'll get it in

1267
01:49:51,840 --> 01:49:56,960
in two weeks. If they give them four
weeks, they'll get it in in four weeks.

1268
01:49:54,800 --> 01:50:02,480
Right. So I think if we shorten our time
a little bit and make people think

1269
01:49:59,199 --> 01:50:05,600
faster. Well, I think there's so before
February 1st, you can even ask for the

1270
01:50:04,080 --> 01:50:10,239
end of February. That gives you 12
months to submit. Gives you time to look

1271
01:50:07,679 --> 01:50:14,800
them over. Gives you time to vote on who
is going to be. Um, and that way you

1272
01:50:12,960 --> 01:50:18,159
have enough time to potentially get the
awards personalized.

1273
01:50:16,639 --> 01:50:23,280
» Will that be enough time to have
everything um written out and advertised

1274
01:50:21,119 --> 01:50:26,159
like in the papers and on the radio and
all that stuff? Like

1275
01:50:24,560 --> 01:50:29,360
» paper costs?
>> That gives us five months.

1276
01:50:27,600 --> 01:50:34,800
» Yeah. If you want to do that, you have
to have budget for it. Um, we can put it

1277
01:50:32,400 --> 01:50:40,239
on the website. Um, pretty much at the
drop of a hat. Um, I just need it.

1278
01:50:37,920 --> 01:50:46,960
» We can forward that to our own.
>> I mean, when we send our press release

1279
01:50:42,239 --> 01:50:51,360
to to the paper, then u I'm thinking
that he can he can come forward and

1280
01:50:49,040 --> 01:50:56,000
start doing the story on it
>> on the upcoming.

1281
01:50:52,320 --> 01:50:59,119
» Oh, yeah. I think it as part of a right
as part of a story instead of adding

1282
01:50:57,760 --> 01:51:00,239
» more information.
>> Yeah.

1283
01:50:59,520 --> 01:51:04,719
» Right.
>> To nominate some goal here.

1284
01:51:02,320 --> 01:51:09,440
» Um
yeah.

1285
01:51:07,199 --> 01:51:15,760
» Yeah. I think that would
>> be Yeah. If we cost Yeah. which could

1286
01:51:13,360 --> 01:51:20,320
come out of that thousand.
Again, that thousand is there, but

1287
01:51:17,840 --> 01:51:23,280
whatever is for initial, right?
>> And I'll have to allow Joan to help us

1288
01:51:22,960 --> 01:51:26,960
add,
>> it will probably cost anywhere from

1289
01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:32,080
$250.
>> The last time we took out a newspaper ad

1290
01:51:29,600 --> 01:51:34,400
that was decent size. I believe it was
around $600.

1291
01:51:33,600 --> 01:51:40,000
» Yeah.
>> Um I'm sure there were smaller ones,

1292
01:51:37,520 --> 01:51:44,880
» but they're not they're not
insignificant amounts.

1293
01:51:42,320 --> 01:51:51,920
Um, but I can certainly try and find
what that would be and send it out.

1294
01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:55,599
» Yeah, this circles back to the Chamber
of Commerce website, Facebook page,

1295
01:51:54,080 --> 01:52:02,480
being able to kind of like put that out
there immediately. Um, secondly, when we

1296
01:51:58,880 --> 01:52:11,760
go back to the work plan, I I I'd like
to make the distinction between

1297
01:52:06,400 --> 01:52:16,080
the municipal website has an update on
what the truth and reconciliation

1298
01:52:13,520 --> 01:52:20,000
committee's goals are. Doesn't have to
be the work plan of the year, but just

1299
01:52:18,159 --> 01:52:23,840
say what the committee is for, what was
structured, how it was structured, blah

1300
01:52:21,199 --> 01:52:30,159
blah blah. Um and then the updates we
could possibly use until something moves

1301
01:52:27,199 --> 01:52:35,840
a bit more within within municipality
that that commerce is able to be used

1302
01:52:33,040 --> 01:52:40,080
for all the events so to speak.
>> So for Ryan were talking about the

1303
01:52:37,920 --> 01:52:46,320
Facebook page um because Brian had
questions about uh maintaining a single

1304
01:52:43,119 --> 01:52:52,480
voice um who's going to do the updates.
the the list that that Brent gave us was

1305
01:52:48,719 --> 01:52:56,960
quite involved of when things would be
posted, how they would be posted. I was

1306
01:52:54,560 --> 01:53:02,080
like, but who's doing this?
>> Um, who in the committee has the time

1307
01:52:58,960 --> 01:53:06,080
and the want to do it? Um, and I don't
know that he's gotten those answers yet,

1308
01:53:04,400 --> 01:53:10,960
» which would still be further discussion
because as a volunteer member,

1309
01:53:08,960 --> 01:53:15,199
» it sometimes it is difficult because my
next question is directly to you, Megan.

1310
01:53:13,040 --> 01:53:20,800
I need your help with making sure this
letter like has the same voice even with

1311
01:53:18,239 --> 01:53:24,719
the sponsorship letter. So I can send
you this, but it was Darlene Brent and

1312
01:53:22,880 --> 01:53:28,719
myself that looked over the nomination.
This one first.

1313
01:53:26,560 --> 01:53:33,360
» Yeah, the nomination first. But I would
like it to one obviously have the

1314
01:53:30,320 --> 01:53:39,760
watermark and logo of municipality, but
it was just a subcommittee thing. But we

1315
01:53:36,320 --> 01:53:42,560
need to be able to have that continuity
cuz it looks and sounds better when it

1316
01:53:41,760 --> 01:53:45,760
reads better.
>> Absolutely.

1317
01:53:43,599 --> 01:53:51,159
» Um, so you just want me to go over this
and because I was obviously wondering

1318
01:53:51,760 --> 01:53:55,679
in in my voice because that's what I
used.

1319
01:53:53,520 --> 01:54:01,679
» Yes, definitely. And then
>> yeah in your Megan voice said um but

1320
01:53:59,280 --> 01:54:04,639
then this and I know uh the only thing
is I won't send it to you until I get

1321
01:54:03,199 --> 01:54:08,239
feedback from Brent and Darlene because
it is part of our subcommittee and then

1322
01:54:06,159 --> 01:54:12,560
we'll just kind of move forward but it's
just there's anything

1323
01:54:09,440 --> 01:54:16,618
» got a copy I can start on it. When are
you meeting with your subcommittee?

1324
01:54:14,719 --> 01:54:20,320
» Darlene,
[laughter]

1325
01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:24,800
» I do need to I'd like to finish the
nomination by Friday, like finalize that

1326
01:54:22,960 --> 01:54:28,159
nomination, which would again have
>> Yeah. So, there would be

1327
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:33,119
» the proper headings and stuff, but
>> week sometime

1328
01:54:30,080 --> 01:54:37,679
» if we could get it by like
next week. Yeah,

1329
01:54:34,400 --> 01:54:41,760
» next week. Okay. Um, these things do
require a signer on them. Who will that

1330
01:54:40,719 --> 01:54:45,199
be?
>> Will that be Darlene as a member of

1331
01:54:43,360 --> 01:54:48,719
council or will that be you as the
person who put it together and that I'm

1332
01:54:47,199 --> 01:54:53,354
assuming is collecting these?
>> Gavin, I'm going to give it to Darlene.

1333
01:54:50,880 --> 01:54:53,354
» Y [laughter]

1334
01:54:53,679 --> 01:54:59,119
as your your staff resource.
>> I'd love it if you collected it because

1335
01:54:57,119 --> 01:55:02,524
then it all goes in. I know Megan's
like, "Come on, Naomi. [laughter]

1336
01:55:02,880 --> 01:55:08,320
» We just love your organizational
skills." How's that?

1337
01:55:05,920 --> 01:55:12,400
» You know what I've had?
If you saw the amount of emails that I

1338
01:55:10,320 --> 01:55:17,040
have that I don't delete, I have I I'm
at like 80% capacity. I have to clean

1339
01:55:15,280 --> 01:55:21,360
that stuff out. So, don't think I'm
organized,

1340
01:55:18,880 --> 01:55:25,840
» but I have preferences.
>> But yes, I can I can work on that. I'll

1341
01:55:23,280 --> 01:55:31,760
work on what you've got here. Um and try
and send you something. What day is

1342
01:55:27,040 --> 01:55:37,440
today? Today's Tuesday. Got counsel
19s. Got interviews

1343
01:55:34,960 --> 01:55:40,480
by Monday.
by Friday because I don't think
