A quick update to let you know that North Cowichan will be having a conversation around Permissive Tax Exemptions.
We saw certain groups not allowed this exemption last round, based on false information and cancel culture, such as Grace Life. Additionally council also denied Camp Qwanoes based on false statements by community members. Luckily in their appeal, they ended up changing the councillors minds, but the same can’t be said for Grace Life.
Here is some of the wording - with no detailed explanation of what “inclusive or equity” exactly means. We ponder whether this may have the same definition placed in their criteria for choosing community committee members - (see below)
In a debate over decisions over choosing volunteers, as well as language around these decisions, COAP went to NC Last year:
Sincerely,
Team COAP
The original acronym was DEI but NC has changed it to DIE. Was this intentional or did they really mean to mock themselves?
Keep in mind the actual meaning of the "DEI" acronym- "Didn't Earn It."
With the evident mindset of the NC Council "Gang of Four" resistance is futile, we might as well be pushing our Sisyphean stone up the hill with our noses.
