As we will set out in detail in this letter, it is our position that the School District has disposed of the Lands without lawful authority. We are mindful of the length of this letter; however, this space is needed to set out our views on the various complex issues that have arisen since September 27, 2021, when the Sale Agreement was signed. To assist the reader in moving through these various issues, we have organized this letter into sections that deal with similar issues.

I have examined the School Act and Regulations and I could not find the term “suspension of trustees”. I also went back to SD61 Board By-Laws and policies, and didn’t see any reference to suspension of trustees or a process that stipulates how a Board would suspend a trustee.
The majority of the Board do not have the power to remove a trustee from their position.

Near the end of the January 24 SD61 Board meeting, the first and second readings of a Bylaw to sell School District land adjacent to Bowker Creek carried 5-4. The third and final reading to approve the sale (Is here any question that it won’t be approved 4-4?) will be on the February Board meeting. […]

Because there is no equal
to the Bowker Creek Blueprint and the intergenerational
100-Year Action Plan, the intent is that this “story behind
the story” will have lasting value as a legacy resource for
the Bowker Creek Initiative. The hope is that others will be
inspired by the Bowker experience. It is a beacon of hope.
