Brothers band. Formed in 1974, the Cooper Brothers were one of Ottawa’s
best-known bands of the late 70s with their song, The Dream Never Dies,
charting in Canada and the United States. The brothers used their success to
advance their charity work. In the mid 70s, the Cooper Brothers headlined their
first of many fundraisers, performing at Lansdowne Park to raise funds for a new
roof at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. This led to many more fundraising
concerts and events over the years
The Cooper Brothers were also involved in producing Ringside for
Youth in support of the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa. The band wrote the theme
to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario’s annual telethon and performed
at every telethon from 1983 to 1993. They have also raised funds for the Ottawa
Children’s Treatment Centre, the Ottawa Food Bank, the Ottawa Humane Society

Would staff provide a status update of the working group’s
progress regarding barriers faced by the multi-unit residential sector to
participate in the City’s Green Bin program, including potential solutions.
In addition, please indicate when the Standing Committee on
Environmental Protection, Water and Waste Management will receive a detailed
report with recommendations regarding the development of a comprehensive
multi-residential strategy that will explore policies, programs and pilot
initiatives that the Committee and ultimately Council will consider in order
to increase diversion and participation in the City’s green bin program.
Finally, will staff confirm that it is their intent to recommend
the implementation of green bins in multi-unit dwellings as mandatory no
later than when the Solid Waste Master Plan is submitted for approval, if not
sooner.

Earlier today we had the honour
to host my MPP Merrilee Fullerton, Provincial Minister and member of the
Treasury Board, here in this Chamber. This was a ticketed event known as the
Mayor’s Breakfast and not open to the public.
Protesters, including City of Ottawa staff, were able to enter
this area and attempt to break the glass doors and windows for five minutes
until police arrived. This placed the Mayor’s guests at risk of harm.
I would like Corporate Security to investigate and report to
Council, In Camera if necessary, on how this was possible, what do we need to
consider to provide better security to our guests and the public who enjoy
coming to City Hall believing it is a safe place.

Council adjourned
the meeting at 12:25 p.m.
