Protecting Public Spaces: Preventing Misuse of City Venues

The Liberals proposed an investigation and tightening of democratic conditions for renting out premises and providing cultural support, specifically to prevent anti-democratic forces from exploiting city venues via second- or third-hand leases, and to enable repayment of funds if conditions are not met. The City Executive Office responded that similar work is already underway per the 2025 and 2026 budgets. The municipal board majority voted to reject the motion, citing ongoing work, while the Moderates and Liberals reserved their votes, wishing the motion to be approved.
