Councillor Noce, on behalf of City Council and the people of Edmonton, acknowledged and
congratulated Chief Lindsay on his appointment as Queen’s Counsel by the Minister of Justice,
Mr. Jon Havelock. This is a very unique honour as it represents the first time in the
Commonwealth that a police officer has been so recognized. The Minister of Justice’s
favourable decision was principally premised on Chief Lindsay’s work as a police legal advisor
from 1982 to 1995 on behalf of the Edmonton Police Service, his efforts at law reform with the
Law Reform Commission of Canada and training initiatives which he led at the Canadian Police
College.

D.1.a. Draft Regional Service Plan (M. Phair).
“On January 27, 1998 the Draft Regional Service Plan Redesigning Community Svcs.
services for Children, Youth and Families in Region Ten was released for
comment and support.
CS Committee
I would like the following information from the Administration:
1. A brief analysis of the impact that the proposed Service Plan Due: Feb. 23, 1998
Redesign will have on the City of Edmonton.
2. Suggestions for changes or improvements to the Redesign
that the City may wish to make.
3. Would the Administration recommend a letter of support of
Region Ten’s Service Plan to the Provincial Government
and if so, what might be contained in that letter.
4. Identify areas that will need further City consideration and
review as related to the proposed changes.
Because of the short time to respond and because an inquiry is not
debatable, I would like this request to come to Community Services
Committee as soon as practical.”
D.1.b. Unauthorized Distribution of Advertising on Hotel Premises
(L. Chahley).
_______________________
City Council
Meeting No. 13 Minutes 296
February 3, 1998
“ For Several years hotels in Edmonton have been inundated with the Corporate Svcs.
unauthorized distribution of advertising circulars into guest rooms. Over
the years various strategies have been employed by the hotel industry in an
Due: Mar. 17, 1998
effort to stop this practice but to no avail. An earlier attempt to seek help
from the City resulted in the suggestion that the newly revised Petty (D.1.b. Cont’d)
Trespass Act (June 1997) could possibly be used to resolve the problem.
Unfortunately the Act provides little in getting to the root of the problem. Corporate Services
Due: Mar. 17, 1998
The City of Winnipeg acknowledged they had a similar problem and
passed a Municipal Bylaw to deal with these situations. In addition, their
Bylaw also incorporated provisions to counter the problem of posting
handbills on City or Public property.
Recognizing that all reasonable means have been tried to eliminate this
problem without any lasting results, I would ask the Administration to
provide a report for the March 17, 1998 Council meeting that addresses the
following questions:
1. Has the Winnipeg Bylaw been an effective tool in
eliminating the problem of the unauthorized distribution of
handbills in hotels?
2. Has the Winnipeg Bylaw been an effective tool in regulating
the posting of handbills on City or Public property?
3. Should the City of Edmonton follow the lead of Winnipeg
and consider a similar Bylaw that deals specifically with
these type of problems?”
D. ADMINISTRATIVE INQUIRIES AND RESPONSES
D.2. REPORTS ON ADMINISTRATIVE INQUIRIES
D.2.b. Pedestrian Accident Review in the City of Edmonton (B. Smith).
MOVED L. Chahley – R. Noce
