Anton Submission to Provincial Vancouver Riot Inquiry Includes Recommendations to Help Prevent Riot Next Year
Vancouver City Councillor and NPA candidate for mayor Suzanne Anton has submitted a letter with recommendations to the Provincial Riot Review Commission.
Some of the recommendations contained in the submission:
Allow for the use of downtown closed circuit surveillance cameras for the Stanley Cup finals and other major events.
All plans for city-led Stanley Cup Playoff celebrations must be debated and approved at City Council before being implemented.
The Mayor should lead daily briefings in advance and during the Stanley Cup Finals for the public and the media. In addition to providing important public safety information, the briefings will be an opportunity to answer questions, highlight celebrations throughout the region and reassure the public that the mistakes of the past are not going to be repeated.
Engage regional colleagues and the provincial government in establishing a more comprehensive coordinated regional police unit focused on security planning for large special events
