Sounds like offer will be turned down by OC

http://www.vancouversun.com/news/cal...405/story.html

Here is the wording of City's offer:

Quote:
The offer will be that we will assist in obtaining appropriate venues for establishing a forum for public dialog on the Occupy Calgary issues. We are suggesting 4 sessions, perhaps one on a Saturday and 3 evening sessions. Locations are up for discussion as is format.

In addition to securing suitable locations, we will cover any rental costs for the venue. Additionally, we will provide support from our facilitator and planners tohelp set it up if the group desires.

We will also assist in promoting the venues and the forums.

We are open to maintaining a presence on the plaza during normal operational hours, a single booth for the purpose of disseminating information on the Occupy Calgary position and goals as to promote the forums.

In exchange, we would like an orderly withdrawal from Olympic Plaza and removal of materials.

Our intent would be to promote this as a peaceful negotiated agreement to move the vision of OC forward into the next steps of public dialogue.

This will be promoted as a win for both agencies and a move forward, not a shut down.
