Council has supported an amended notice of motion calling for a Business & Retail Crime Response Forum, in line with a plan already set in motion with the three local MLAs.
The original recommendation put forward directed administration to coordinate and facilitate the forum, with requested participation from the RCMP, and invited representatives from the retail and business community, including organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Prince George and an invitation for the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General to participate.
However, the amended motion that was approved directs administration to liaise with and partner with the three local MLA offices to coordinate and support their proposed Business & Retail Crime Response Forum currently in development, and to endeavor that the intent behind the original Notice of Motion is meaningfully integrated into the fall forum through the city’s participating partnership.
