Deputy Mayor A. Bolstad, on behalf of Members of Council, paid tribute to an outstanding Canadian Statesman, The Right Honourable Pierre Elliot Trudeau, who passed away on September 28, 2000.

Pierre Elliot Trudeau was a charismatic leader, who served as Prime Minister for fifteen years, 1968 – 1979 and 1980 – 1984. His tenure marked the adoption of the Official Languages Act, the Patriation of the Constitution in 1982 and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms: three major underpinnings of Canadian Society. He was a champion for a united Canada and challenged Canadians to respect their country and to serve it with pride. He was a devoted father. In many ways he symbolized the just society he fought so hard for.

In recognition of Honourable Pierre Elliott Trudeau, a moment of silence was observed in his memory.

D.1.e. Effect of Interest Free Borrowing on Major Capital Projects(B. Anderson).

“The federal government’s Green Municipal Investment Fund, administered by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, includes the possibility of providing reduced interest loan amounts. Recently Alberta has been receiving negative publicity surrounding the whole area of C02

If the Province of Alberta were to establish an interest-free loan fund (to assist Alberta municipalities with the increasing costs of new infrastructure, the repair of aging infrastructure, and projects that would decrease our provincial C02 emissions), could the Administration provide an example of the effect interest-free borrowing would have on major capital projects like Edmonton’s SLRT?
