SPC Items
Future agenda items for your consideration: just FYI at this time
(no major discussion at this time).
·
CMHA
Community Protocol for Anti Racism Initiatives- the CMHA is forming a group to
revisit
·
UBC Human
Geography Student Projects - the second project in partnership with the SPC
will begin early next year
Community Foundation - Nancy Gale
There is an established Community Foundation Fund for our local region.
It is funded in part by Gaming revenues, which are required by law to invest
via municipal levies to community projects.
Public revenue and expense reports are available, and from the latest
reports there is a significant amount of money that is available to be
reinvested in the community.
Nancy Gale is starting a "task force" to identify how the
community could best invest these dollars. It was noted that the City of
Quesnel is a good example of how funding is distributed.
A motion was made for 2- 3 representatives from the SPC to participate in
this task force - MFSC
