Review of Notes from January 18, 2005 Meeting– It was noted that Dr. Divine is Chair of the “James Robinson Johnston Chair in Black Canadian Studies” instead of the Chair of the “Department of Black Studies at Dalhousie University”.  Moved by Anne and seconded by Alvena to accept the notes as amended from the January 18, 2005 meeting.  Carried. 
 

Community Development Corporation - Next Steps:

a. Update on Sewage Treatment Plant Exterior Design

Craig said that there was nothing to report as he was still waiting for a date when D&DWS would be able to meet with the CLC to present their sketches.  He said that he had been in contact with Dan O’Halloran and Dan would advise us when they would be ready.   
 

b. Tiger Team Update

Craig said that he had e-mailed Dr. Divine with a broad outline of the Tiger Team concept and was awaiting word from Dr. Divine.  Delaine noted that she had spoke with Frank Palermo who indicated he would be interested in serving on the Tiger Team.
 

c. Inclusion of Youth in CDC Activities

Anne provided an update on the number of names that had been forwarded to Sharon Martin.   She said that only one name had been received to date.  She said that the storm closures of the schools were likely the reason for the slow responses.  In addition, Anne noted that perhaps the letter that was sent was not detailed enough in the description of the CLC and our functions. She asked the CLC members to contact the organizations to prompt them for a response.  Craig noted that we can also refer people to the Harbour Solutions section on the HRM website. 
 

Other Business: 
 

a. Re-scheduling of Supper for Sharon Martin

Due to the bad weather, the dinner on 25 January 2005 to thank Sharon Martin was postponed. The dinner will now be held sometime in April with a date to be determined.
 

b. Absence of Craig at 15 February 2005 Meeting

Craig indicated that he would be absent from the meeting scheduled for 15 February 2005.  It was decided that the meeting would proceed with Anne chairing.  If there are insufficient agenda items then Anne will call the CLC members to cancel the meeting.  If the meeting is cancelled, the next meeting will be held on 1 March 2005 at 6:00pm.
 

c. CLC Contact List

A new contact list was circulated by e-mail and in paper form.  Craig asked that members advise him or Sharon Martin as soon as possible if they have any changes.

Next Meeting Date – 6:00 pm, Tuesday, February 15, 2005 at the George Dixon Centre.
