Vancouver City Council
FROM:
Family Court/Youth Justice Committee
SUBJECT:
Request for Council Liaison Appointment
RECOMMENDATION
THAT Vancouver City Council appoint at least one Council Liaison to sit on its Family Court/Youth Justice Committee.
CITY MANAGER'S COMMENTS
The City Manager notes that it is Council's decision as to whether they want to appoint a Council Liaison to the Family Court/Youth Justice Committee.
PURPOSE
Appointing a Liaison would ensure that Council is aware, in a timely fashion, of local, national and international emerging family, youth, and justice issues, which have relevance for the City of Vancouver. It would also demonstrate Council's belief in the importance of this Committee and its work.
BACKGROUND
Of the current Family Court Youth Justice Committees operating in the Province, the Vancouver committee appears to be the only one without at least one City Councillor at the table.
CONCLUSION
The Committee requests the recommendation be approved.
