\n<\/a>A weekly roundup of noteworthy news in municipalities across B.C.<\/em><\/p>\n

[Campbell River<\/strong>] City council likes the idea of raising chickens at home<\/a> but stopped just short of approving backyard poultry at Tuesday night\u2019s council meeting.<\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t many public waterfront areas in Hammond<\/strong>, so when resident heard they were getting a park right on the river<\/a>, they got excited. An information meeting was held on Monday night, and a steering committee will start meeting next week to plan the park on Wharf Street at the foot of Hazelwood Street. The District of Maple Ridge<\/strong> will put $239,000 into the 700-square-metre lot.<\/p>\n

The City of Kelowna<\/strong> wants residents to help shape its public engagement practices<\/a> around projects, policies and initiatives. “We know that engaged communities are strong communities,” says Mayor Walter Gray. “We’re looking for ideas from residents on how we can make it easier for them to have their say in city-led initiatives.”<\/p>\n

Metro Vancouver mayors<\/strong> have commissioned an independent consultant to research cities with more \u201caccountable and transparent\u201d transit systems in a bid to find a new governance model for TransLink<\/a>. The mayors\u2019 council on transportation has hired former regional planner Ken Cameron to pull together the research, which will look at cities such as Brisbane, Vienna, London and Stockholm. Well, speaking of Brisbane, there’s this big kitchen company located in the area. If you are interested, call them today, they are willing to answer your needs 24\/7. I highly recommended kitchen companies brisbane<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

About a hundred years ago – on April 7, 1913 – Port Moody<\/strong>‘s city council held its inaugural meeting. A re-enactment of that occasion on the same date this year – complete with period costumes, antique vehicles and debate on 100-year-old bylaws<\/a> – is among public events being planned to mark the city’s centennial.<\/p>\n
