As in past years the presenters are current and on-trend with the issues facing the Quay community. We encourage all who live in the Quayside area to attend and learn more about your community and city.
PRESENTERS:[/cs_text][x_feature_box title=”New Westminster Fire Chief: TIM ARMSTRONG<br>Topic: Evacuation Preparedness” title_color=”” text_color=”” graphic=”image” graphic_size=”120px” graphic_shape=”square” graphic_color=”#ffffff” graphic_bg_color=”#2ecc71″ align_h=”center” align_v=”top” side_graphic_spacing=”20px” max_width=”none” graphic_image=”https://quay.white-shirt.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/AGM-17-_Fire-Chief-Tim-Armstrong.jpg”]At 10am on September 26th in 2016 the morning air was filled with Fire Sirens and Emergency vehicles as the city’s emergency preparedness professionals converged on the Quayside Community to tend a hazardous spill on the rail tracks. This spill threatened the welfare of the residents of two Quayside buildings…okay it was an organized drill and all made up…but it could really happen. With 60 area residents participating in this drill (out of a possible 4500+), it is clear that being prepared for an emergency is something we should take a little more serious. Fire Chief TIM ARMSTRONG thinks so too. Chief Armstong will talk on what it takes to be prepared in the event of an emergency.

In 2016, the city tried to promote a bridge crossing which collapsed as a viable solution. Today, after much encouragement from Quayside residents, the city is looking into the feasibility of a ferry system between the two areas. Mr. McEvoy will discuss how the city has allocated half a million dollars to explore a ferry crossing.Poplar Landing (the space between The Rialto and the Krueger plant) is scheduled for development. Everything from social housing, co-ops, mixed market residential condos and townhouses has been bandied about. Councillor McEvoy will share the city’s vision for this last green space in the Quay.As many families with children know, the city is in the final stage re-designing the one and only park located in the Quay catchment. Councillor McEvoy will talk to the design of this important family friendly space.
