Ward 11 councillor and mayoral candidate Mike Nickel should be reprimanded and censured for a series of code of conduct violations, Edmonton integrity commissioner Jamie Pytel has found.
EDMONTON Edmonton s fleet of zero-emission public transit buses is set to grow by 20 due to a planned $14.4 million investment from the Canada Infrastructure Bank. The deal was announced Thursday morning and is part of Ottawa s goal of getting 5,000 more zero-emission buses on the road in the next five years. This investment in zero-emission public transit and greener buildings helps ensure Edmonton is making tangible gains in its goal to become a competitive, low-carbon city of the future, said Mayor Don Iveson. Edmonton Transit Service currently has 40 zero-emission transit vehicles. CIB says the new buses have lifetime operating costs as much as 40 per cent lower than diesel buses.
Iveson said his motion will also direct the city to:
Cover the original mural of Grandin at the LRT station with orange
Consult with the Grandin working circle for next steps
Request the naming committee work with the circle to create recommendations for a new name or names for the station and district that contribute to reconciliation I m hopeful this action will provide immediate relief as well as offer a clear timeline for when these next steps will unfold, he said in the statement.
Iveson said during a news availability that while calls for the removal have emerged over the years, all Canadians have now had to face yet more visceral evidence of the shameful legacy of residential schools.
