The issue of City of Salmon Arm proclamations reappeared at council on April 11.
Many years ago, when Colin Mayes held the mayor’s chair, city council voted in favour of refusing all requests for proclamations of any kinds. But a March 30 request by Child Find British Columbia asking the city to proclaim May as Missing Children’s Month and May 25 as Missing Children’s Day brought the issue back to the table. Coun. Tim Lavery would like council to consider recognizing these requests.
“We have moved away from that, but I would like to look at a procedure and try to take a fresh look,” he said. “In the fall, I will come forward with recommendations about that.”
