SECONDED by Cllr. Bellamy,

WHEREAS Vancouver City Council and the Vancouver Police Board were made aware of the proposed plan by the Ministry of Children & Families to enable some young people aged 16 to 18 to live independently with support from the Province;

AND WHEREAS Council and the Board were advised the youth in the program would be handled out of the Adolescent Services Unit, located at 550 Cambie Street, Vancouver, in the Downtown Eastside, and therefore, would pick up their monthly cheques there;

AND WHEREAS Council, the Board and the Vancouver Police Department are concerned about the potential for youth to be coming to the Downtown Eastside where they could be drawn into substance abuse and illicit activity;

AND WHEREAS it is felt some of these young people will seek housing in SROs and be exposed to an unhealthy environment and placed at risk;

AND WHEREAS given the current efforts by the three levels of government, the Vancouver Police Department, and other stakeholders to improve the safety and quality of life in the Downtown Eastside, Council is concerned the already mammoth challenges will be exacerbated with the addition of further youth at risk in the area;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the UBCM take action to oppose the introduction of the proposed plan by the Ministry of Children & Families to set up youth agreements to provide the allowances for youth to live independently.

2. Panhandling/”Spare Change” Parking Meters
