Braden Smith Resigns in Winnipeg

https://globalnews.ca/news/5676757/city-of-winnipeg-loses-chief-planner/
Not mentioned in this article :
The owners of the Parker Lands have launched a $30-million lawsuit against the City of Winnipeg, which accuses four senior city officials of abusing their power.
  In a statement of claim filed Tuesday morning, companies linked to developer Gem Equities accuse the city’s planning, property and development director John Kiernan, chief planner Braden Smith, senior planner Michael Robinson and permit administrator Martin Grady of abusing their public positions. The lawsuit also names the City of Winnipeg as a defendant, which the developer claims is liable for alleged misconduct related to the proposal to redevelop the site as “Fulton Grove.”
“The lawsuit sets out a number of specific instances of what the plaintiffs say are deliberate, unlawful conduct,” said Gem Equities lawyer Kevin Toyne.
Specifically, the lawsuit alleges city officials denied hearings on the proposed development plans, refused to process applications related to it and otherwise acted in “bad faith.” The lawsuit alleges “the sloth, incompetence and negligence of city employees was sufficient to thwart and delay the Fulton Grove development.”
Sounds like Yew Wood !!

No mention of Tofino . The last multi-lot residential subdivision that required rezoning was Yew Wood. Demand here remains strong with houses going up quickly in the Gibson Heights project.

COMMUNITY NOTICE

 


July 18, 2019


Tofino Councillor Dorothy Baert Passes Away

It is with heavy hearts that we announce that Councillor Dorothy Baert passed away suddenly on Wednesday, July 17, 2019.

A fourth-term member of Tofino Council and a decades-long resident of Tofino, Councillor Baert was a huge champion of the arts, for the environment, for affordable housing, small business and much more. In addition to her duties as a member of Council, Councillor Baert served on the board of directors of the Tofino Housing Corporation and chaired the District of Tofino’s Community Economic Development Advisory Committee.
Mayor Josie Osborne:
"Councillor Baert was an incredibly hard-working and passionate woman who always put community first. Whether advocating for public art, heritage initiatives, affordable housing, or preserving viewscapes, Dorothy was highly respected for her determination, consistency, and principled approach to elected office.  On top of all that, she was a good friend. She was an invaluable member on Tofino Council and she will be missed terribly. ”

Councillor Dorothy Baert’s passing is a huge loss for the community of Tofino. Our sincere condolences go out to her family and her many, many friends and colleagues.
