Aaron Jasper thinks that the Park Board should escape the cuts coming down from City Hall.
Park Board Commissioner Aaron Jasper is on a campaign to stop cuts to the Vancouver Park Board Budget as part of the serious shortfalls that City Hall is facing for the coming fiscal year. Here is what he told CBC News:
“We need people to make a lot of noise,” said Jasper.
“We will clear our schedules. We are going to work for the next seven days to help get the voice up to city hall … to talk to our colleagues up there to help them realize that parks is important to the well-being of the residents of Vancouver,” said Jasper.”
The Park Board has now deferred a vote on a proposal from staff to cut $2.8 million in expenses from its budget, a move that has been given a deadline of November 25 to occur.
I’m not sure what they’re trying to accomplish in the coming week, however. In fact, I have a very specific question.

“Perhaps it was my silk dress or the new perfume I’ve been wearing lately. When I asked Suzanne Anton what her New Year’s resolution was, she replied, “To kiss a pretty girl!” and pecked me on the cheek.” – Writer Emily Barca describing her encounter with the lone NPA City Councillor on New Year’s Eve.
