Time Sensitive! Support for City Councillors' Motion for Urban Hive Allowances

FYI Prince George (British Columbia) city councillors Cori Ramsay and Tim Bennett will be putting forth a motion for debate to allow an unspecified number of hives on properties within city limits at the next council meeting on Wednesday September 9.

A. Some specifics before we jump in:

Bees are not currently classified as livestock in Prince George and we DO NOT want bees classified as "livestock" because this would limit them to Agricultural Land Reserves (ALR) only; hence defeating the purpose of this motion.

You must address your email or letter to the Mayor & Council, not the City Clerk.

Anonymous submissions are not accepted. Put your name and street that you live on. Your house number is not required.

Submit your letter/email of support to the Mayor and Council BEFORE 12:00 noon on TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 8 for them to be included in the meeting on September 9.

B. Here’s how you can help:

1. Write your own unique letter or email of support for urban hives addressing the Mayor and Council—see sample letter below—and send it prior to noon Tuesday September 8 to:

the Mayor and Council at mayorandcouncil@princegeorge.ca
the cityclerk@princegeorge.ca

2. Attend / pack the gallery for the September 9 council meeting at 6PM.

3. Create a petition and send it to the Mayor, Council and City Clerk.

4. Tell your friends about this so they can also participate.
