Council approved a $1,000 grant from Casino revenue to support Ukraine relief through the City of Langford's Friendship City program.
"Council debated whether international aid was an appropriate use of municipal funds, noting the precedence set by raising the Ukrainian flag previously. Critics argued local taxpayer money should be focused locally, while proponents saw it as a continued message of support for a nation in conflict."
Formal MotionPassed
"THAT the Town provide support to Ukraine through the City of Langford's Friendship City program in the amount of $1,000 funded from Casino revenue as a grant in aid."
