Which City of Vancouver elected official wanted taxpayers to pay the costs of their return from vacation so that they could attend a meeting?
CivicScene is working on providing that answer for readers very soon.
On a completely unrelated matter, does NPA park board commissioner Ian Robertson have the proper authorization to be using the Vancouver Park Board official logo on his personal website, which also happens to have his party’s logo on the same page? Maybe some of our readers from within the Park Board can answer that question, anonymously or otherwise.



Is it failed NPA Park Commissioner Snotty Marty Zlontnik???
I spoke with Anita Ho at VPB and she stated that there is no policy on this matter, but only guidelines. I ask her if it was appropriate for a commissioner to have the logo on the their website and she said that it was not. Anita said she would ask Ian to take the logo off the his website. It will be interesting to see if he will compile with the request. I spoke with her on October 5.
Interesting to note as well, the VPB logo is not a register trade mark.
There is a real need for policy work here by the VPB. There needs to be clear policy on the appropriate uses of the logo.
