A Burnaby resident wants the city to allow email voting for the city's petition to remove 21 acres of parkland to make way for an organics recycling facility.
Burnaby residents are upset with the official voting process underway to remove dedicated parkland to make space for a green waste recycling plant.The city is pursuing a formal petition vote in which residents opposed to removing a 21-acre chunk of sensitive wetlands at Fraser Foreshore Park must submit an “elector response form” to Burnaby City Hall by April 28.
“That’s a possibility for other smaller cities – Prince George and Courtenay are smaller for sure – and they can afford to have a person reading emails.” “The alternative approval process for Burnaby is being administered like an election, in which we must verify identities and eligibility and require a real, physical signature of the electors,” city spokesperson Chris Bryan told the NOW in a statement.
Still, the City of Courtenay’s AAP, regarding the disposal of a 0.06-acre piece of dedicated parkland, allows voters to submit the elector response form by email. “These types of submissions are not covered by provincial legislation, and any policies related to electronic submissions would best be set out by local governments in a formal policy document.”
