Mayor J. Crompton called the Meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
This Public Hearing is convened pursuant to section 464 of the Local Government Act to allow the public to make representations to Council respecting matters contained in “Zoning Amendment Bylaw (8200 Bear Paw Trail) No. 2297, 2020” (the “proposed Bylaw”).
We welcome and thank those who have joined us via Zoom video and phone, and also those watching via the live stream. A reminder that this Public Hearing is being recorded and when people ask questions, their voice will be included in the permanent recording of the Public Hearing.
Everyone present shall be given a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to provide written submissions by email respecting matters contained in the proposed Bylaw.
No one will be discouraged or prevented from making their views known. However, it is important that remarks be restricted to matters contained in the proposed Bylaw.
For members of the public wishing to make a submission, please use the ‘raise hand’ feature. We will call on each person to speak in turn and your microphone will be unmuted.
For those on the phone, the raise hand feature can be accessed by pressing star nine [*9]. We will use the last three digits of your phone number to call on you to speak.
For those on a computer, smartphone or tablet, click the raise hand icon on your screen. We will call on you to speak using the name you have used on screen.
Written submissions can be sent in until the end of the Public Hearing by email to corporate at whistler dot ca ([email protected]).
When called upon to speak, please commence your remarks by clearly stating your name and address for the record. Please note that this is not a time to ask questions, but rather an opportunity for the public to make their views known to Council.
Members of Council may ask questions following the staff presentation; however, the function of Council at a Public Hearing is to listen rather than to debate the merits of the proposed Bylaw.
