The starting point for social inclusion is the timely sharing of public information before the making of major decisions by Hamilton city council.

The December 22, 2010 special Pan Am meeting by city council has never been listed on the City of Hamilton online meetings calendar. Therefore, the agenda for that meeting was never made available online to the public in advance of that meeting.

The city staff Pan Am report mentioned in the agenda for the General Issues Committee meeting on January 24, 2011 has not been made available to the public online in advance of the meeting. http://hamilton.ca/CityDepartments/Corpo...

The lack of timely online public information sharing on the Pan Am stadium issue during the early months of Mayor Bratina’s administration is alarming and disappointing. As it is clear by looking at tomorrow's meeting agenda that city staff has completed and submitted their Pan Am report, Hamilton taxpayers have a right to see it in advance of the meeting to know how much money city council is asking them to spend on the Pan Am stadium and related development, how that money will be spent, and how it benefits the Hamilton community.
