Legal Committee

Discussion that funding is provided by OSI to Pivot. X says it is necessary to find a good case first. DTES residents are disproportionately impacted by drug laws. It may be possible to take it as a civil case.

Motion: X motions to have Darryl Bickler present via skype or some other means at board meetings so that we can have his input to be better informed about offensive policies and other issues. Motion passes unanimously.

AGM

X says it is necessary to do a poster. X reminds group the poster has to state date and time. Meeting prior to AGM is the planning meetings (pre-AGM.) X says we must notify members via email list. There is a discussion about workshops. X suggests a workshop called ‘What is ‘it’?’ X suggests workshop on healthcare services in dtes.

There is a discussion about office space. No applications were accepted for any group to receive funding for office space from the city. X says the reason given was that none of the applications were acceptable. 

Moment of silence.
