Well it was found in a report prepared for the city by a consultant. However, the way the city handled the situation makes them look like a bunch of clowns. I mean instead of coming right out and apologizing for the comments in the report and explaining what their actual take on the issue is, they mysteriously delete the comments from the report online and then tell the news it was taken out of context. The city representative I saw on the news was being very confrontational with the reporter and telling her very frankly that the report was over two hundred pages long and that she should read the thing before reporting on it. So the reporter obviously read the thing before finishing her story and comes back with four or five parts of the report that contradict what the rep was saying. Seemed like the rep had very little media training.

Biggest issue I have is the city spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to get a report like this prepared from an out of province consultant. Let's keep our tax payers money in the city and in the hands of consultants that have a clue about the culture of our city. City hall will never get it.
