Motion to Adopt Reports
Motions of Which Notice Has Been Previously Given
Poster Display at City Hall to acknowledge 80th Anniversary of 1945 Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Moved by T. Kavanagh Seconded byC. Curry WHEREAS the City of Ottawa has a history in both the call to create a nuclear weapon-free world and the commemoration of the use of atomic bombs in 1945 on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and WHEREAS the City of Ottawa joined the international nongovernmental organization Mayors for Peace in 1984, which now includes 8,466 member councils from 166 countries, and 113 member councils from Canada, and WHEREAS in 2004, then-President of Mayors for Peace and Mayor of Hiroshima, Mr. Tadatoshi Akiba, visited Ottawa and was generously hosted at City Hall by then-Mayor Bob Chiarelli, and WHEREAS the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) adopted a resolution in March 2006 entitled “Support for Mayors for Peace” which expressed its unqualified support for Mayors for Peace in advocating for the abolition of nuclear weapons, and sent a letter to the Government of Canada indicating support for Mayors for Peace, and WHEREAS an annual commemoration of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki has been held in Ottawa for decades, with a lantern-floating ceremony along the Rideau Canal with more than 100 people in attendance, including representatives from the Embassy of Japan and the Japanese-Canadian community. The Ottawa Japanese Cultural Association has offered support, and committed to promoting and attending the commemoration exhibition. WHEREAS since 2020, the Mayor of Ottawa has annually provided a proclamation proclaiming August 6th as Hiroshima Day and August 9th as Nagasaki Day in Ottawa, and WHEREAS in 2022, with the support of Councillors Theresa Kavanagh and Keith Egli, Ottawa City Council unanimously passed the following motion: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Ottawa is deeply concerned about the grave threat that nuclear weapons pose to communities throughout the world. We firmly believe that our residents have the right to live in a world free from this threat.
