the late 1960s and early 1970s, and reflected Les’ generous, humble and loving
values; and,
WHEREAS Emmerson was also the lead singer and
principal songwriter for the Staccatos (which became the Five Man Electrical
Band in 1968), still remembered fondly by many Ottawa residents today from that
golden era of live music performance in the capital; and,
WHEREAS Emmerson’s musical contributions spanned
decades, including with Les Emmerson and the Hitmen that was formed in 1997 and
that played locally all the way through 2019 including for multiple charitable events
and providing young musicians a place to showcase their talents. Over the years,
he and bandmates have played with luminaries including Chuck Berry, The Allman
Brothers, Bob Seger, Billy Joel, Edgar Winter, Rick Derringer, Humble Pie,
Triumph (Rick Emmet), Grand Funk Railroad, War, Bread, Tom Cochrane, Jefferson
Airplane, and Ronny Hawkins; and,
WHEREAS there was no cause too small or inconsequential
to which Emmerson would not lend his name, including numerous relief benefits and
volunteering his time to music education efforts including working with
Algonquin College. Emmerson never forgot his hometown and gave privately and personally
to numerous causes. He has passed his core values of kindness, consideration
and respect to his family; and,
WHEREAS in 2008, Emmerson was inducted into the
Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame and won two Junos with the Five Man Electrical
Band; and,
WHEREAS in December, 2021, fans globally, friends
and family mourned the loss of Les Emmerson; and,
WHEREAS on May 26, 2022, friends and family will
gather for a tribute concert and evening of storytelling at the Bronson Centre
to pay tribute to Emmerson and his musical and charitable contributions; and,
WHEREAS a future road in Ward 3 in the Caivan
Communities will be re-named for Les Emmerson, marked by a presentation to the
family at this event;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Ottawa City Council
recognize the unique, prolific and generous contributions that Les Emmerson has
made in Ottawa and around the world, and the role he will continue to play as a
model and inspiration to all of Ottawa’s musicians today and in future.
MOTION
Moved by Councillor T. Kavanagh
Seconded by Councillor K. Egli
WHEREAS, nuclear weapons are
the most inhumane and indiscriminate weapons ever created; and
WHEREAS, the current and unprecedented threat of
use of nuclear weapons means that the risk of
nuclear weapons use is at its highest since the Cold War; and
WHEREAS, the long-term health and environmental consequences of one
nuclear detonation include severe climate disruption, mass fire, and radioactive
fallout which can lead to global famine and, in the most extreme case, human extinction;
and
WHEREAS, today’s nuclear arsenals contain weapons
that are 1000 times more
powerful than the ones that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing hundreds of thousands of civilians and caused
the continuing suffering of many thousands more due to burns and related diseases;
and
WHEREAS, the peoples of the world will not be secure until the nuclear
arms race is halted and nuclear weapons are prohibited and abolished; and
WHEREAS, the World Health Organization has stated that nuclear weapons
pose the greatest immediate threat to human health and welfare and that no
meaningful medical or disaster relief response to the detonation of an
average-sized, 100 kiloton nuclear weapon is possible; and
WHEREAS, the World Federation of Public Health Associations, of
which the Canadian Public Health Association is a member, welcomes the
entry into force of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
as the first comprehensive international prohibition of nuclear weapons
noting they are the most damaging weapons of mass destruction, and the latest
to be comprehensively banned.
WHEREAS, catastrophic humanitarian risks are posed by the continued
existence of nuclear weapons, including from any nuclear-weapon detonation by
accident, miscalculation or design, and emphasizing that these risks concern the
security of all humanity; and
WHEREAS, nuclear weapons produce radioactive contamination that remains
active for millennia, causing cancers and other illnesses that can persist
across generations; and
WHEREAS, the development, testing, and use of nuclear weapons
disproportionately impacts women and girls and Indigenous Peoples. After 1945
in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, women were twice as likely to develop and die from
solid cancer due to ionizing radiation exposure. This gendered difference was also
observed after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident, where girls
were considerably more likely to develop thyroid cancer from nuclear fallout than
boys. Over two thousand nuclear test explosions were conducted between 1945 and
2017 with Indigenous communities around the world bearing the brunt of these deadly
experiments. Indigenous Peoples in present-day Australia, United States, the Marshall
Islands, New Zealand, and Fiji were permanently displaced because of nuclear weapons
testing as their lands became radioactive and unsafe for habitation, even decades
after test sites closed. In Canada, many members of the Délı̨nę
First Nation who worked at the Port Radium mine, mining and transporting
uranium ore for use in the atomic weapons produced by the Manhattan Project,
developed cancers due to exposure to low-grade uranium; and
WHEREAS, even a limited use of the world’s more than 13,000 nuclear
warheads would kill billions from radioactive fallout, crop
failures, and starvation outside
the city limits of the original target; and
WHEREAS, the United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres,
noting worrying signs of a new nuclear arms race as States continue to modernize
their arsenals stated “Humanity remains one misunderstanding, one misstep, one
miscalculation, one pushed button away from annihilation”; and
WHEREAS,
the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) which entered
into force on January 22, 2021, is a landmark international agreement that
comprehensively prohibits nuclear weapons with the ultimate goal of their total
elimination; and
WHEREAS, the International
Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, having called for a ban on nuclear weapons
since 1945, welcomed the adoption of the TPNW as a historic and long-awaited
step towards their elimination; and
WHEREAS, the World Medical Association, deeply concerned about the catastrophic
consequences of nuclear weapons on human health and the environment, welcomes the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and calls
on all states to promptly sign, ratify or accede to, and faithfully implement
the Treaty; and
WHEREAS, more than one thousand
recipients of the Order of Canada who have joined an initiative led by John
Polanyi, C.C., Douglas Roche, O.C. and the late Murray Thomson, O.C., are urging
Canada to work to have NATO countries recognize the Treaty on the Prohibition
of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) as a step towards the eventual elimination of nuclear
weapons.
WHEREAS, former Prime Ministers, Foreign Ministers, and Defence
Ministers including The Right Honourable John N. Turner and Jean Chrétien, The
Honourable Lloyd Axworthy, Jean-Jacques Blais, Bill Graham, John McCallum, and
John Manley joined fifty-five allied non-nuclear weapons states’ leaders in
2020 stating that “nuclear weapons serve no legitimate military or strategic
purpose in light of the catastrophic human and environmental consequences of
their use” and support Canada signing and ratifying the Treaty on the Prohibition
of Nuclear Weapons; and
WHEREAS, a Nanos
poll taken in April 2021 show
that a strong majority of Canadians agree Canada should join the Treaty.
Seventy-four percent (74%) support or somewhat support Canada signing and
ratifying the new Prohibition Treaty; and
WHEREAS, the 2021 Ottawa Declaration, signed by
prominent Canadians, notes that the
Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
declares that “any use of nuclear weapons would be abhorrent to the principles of
humanity and the dictates of public conscience,” and
calls on Canada to support the TPNW; and
WHEREAS, cities and residents in cities are the main targets of nuclear
weapons and the City of Ottawa has a special responsibility as Canada’s Capital
City to ensure its residents have the right to live in a world free from the
threat of a nuclear attack; and
WHEREAS, seventeen Canadian cities including Cape Breton, Halifax,
Langley, Montreal, North Saanich, Oakville, Pelham, Saanich, Sooke, Squamish,
Sudbury, Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria, West Vancouver, White Rock, and Winnipeg
have already spoken out in support of the TPNW by signing the International
Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons Cities Appeal; and
WHEREAS, The City of Ottawa joined the international nongovernmental
organization Mayors for Peace in 1985 to work globally with
other cities to press for nuclear abolition. In 2004, then-President of
Mayors for Peace and the Mayor of Hiroshima, Mr. Tadatoshi Akiba, visited Ottawa
and met high school students and civil society leaders and was generously hosted
at City Hall by then-Mayor Bob Chiarelli.
WHEREAS, in 2006 the Federation of Canadian
Municipalities (FCM) adopted a resolution in entitled “Support for Mayors
for Peace” which resolved
- that FCM express its unqualified support for
Mayors for Peace “which is advocating for the abolition of nuclear
weapons”
- that the FCM send a letter to the Government of
Canada indicating support for Mayors for Peace
WHEREAS, Jim Watson, Mayor of the City of Ottawa, proclaimed August
6th Hiroshima Day and August 9th Nagasaki Day for two
consecutive years in 2020 and 2021; and
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Ottawa is deeply concerned
about the grave threat that nuclear weapons pose to communities throughout the
world. We firmly believe that our residents have the right to live in a world
free from this threat. Any use of nuclear weapons, whether deliberate or
accidental, would have catastrophic, far-reaching and long-lasting consequences
for people and the environment.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Ottawa join with the other
Canadian cities who have signed on to the Cities Appeal and support the Treaty
on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and call on our governments to sign and
ratify it.

Motion regarding Health and Fitness Day, for which notice was given at the May
