At the commencement of the meeting, an in-camera meeting was held.

There have been four compliance reviews conducted since the last meeting of Council.

The following motions were passed by Council:

  • In response to a motion concerning a license category. As part of Council’s due diligence, that administrative staff draft a summary of relevant information to provide to the stakeholders for input, comments, and feedback as a part of the consultation process.
  • Accept the Council and Committee Members Annual Confirmation and Disclosure, with the revisions, as presented.
  • Accept the March & April 2022 Revenue & Expense Reports as presented.
