Dear Friends,
A community task
force named C.T.A.G. (Coalition for Transparent and Accountable Governance) has
been formed in our ongoing challenge regarding the Shark Fin Ban Bylaw in City
of Calgary and we need your continuous support.
Led by members of our
community, CTAG is a non-partisan group designed to unite the voices in our
community to challenge the Shark Fin Ban Bylaw, and our demand for proper
consultation. With help from many volunteers and community
members, we have successfully convinced City Council to delay the 2nd
and 3rd reading on the Shark Fin Ban Bylaw until January, 2013. Thanks to advocacy from these volunteers,
City Council has publicly committed to conduct more in depth consultations within
the Chinese community before January, 2013.
To move forward into
the next few weeks, CTAG need to raise around $50,000 to help covering the legal
and consultant fees, advertising, and website costs for the ongoing challenge
to the City Council for that undemocratic process of introducing the Shark
Fin Ban Bylaw. To help putting things in
perspective, prior to the formation of CTAG, approximately $13,000 in legal,
advertising and rental fees has been incurred and paid for by the Calgary
Chinese Merchants Association and its supporters.
