City Hall

City to receive reports on reconciliation, public art purchase and hear public concerns

Mar 11, 2022 | 11:12 AM

The agenda for the next meeting of city council is not long but it is packed.

Listed for consideration is a 41-page attachment on Truth and Reconciliation and how the city has fared in implementing their own procedures to address it.

Council will get information on the calls to action presented by the national commission along with actions taken by other cities, such as Saskatoon. Also included in the report is the list of actions already taken by the city.

Council will also decide on whether to commission a piece of art from Mary Longman at a cost of $123,000.

If council pursues the purchase, the finished piece would be titled Passage Home and be installed in Scarrow Plaza this September on the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation.
