Fair, a unique community consultation process will involve the public in
creating a vision for the future of Woodward's.

questions, and find out what common visions there are for the Woodward's
building, which was recently purchased by the city from the provincial
government..

A NOTE ON E-LERTS
E-lerts are COPE press releases and highlight information about upcoming
civic activities. Here's how COPE uses them:
(1) There are four types of E-lerts -- COMMUNITY, COUNCIL, PARKS and SCHOOL.
(2) There will likely be a maximum of three E-lerts a week for all
boards/council.
(3) You can sign up for selective E-lerts. To change your E-lert status,
please reply to this e-mail by putting the name of the board or council you
wish to be E-lerted to in the subject line (e.g., Jane Doe wants Council
and Parks so she replies with COUNCIL PARKS in the subject line). COMMUNITY
E-lerts are sent to everyone regardless of your E-lert status.
(4) If you do not wish to receive E-lerts, please reply to this e-mail by
putting "REMOVE" in the subject line.
(5) If you know anyone who would like to receive E-lerts, please send their
name, phone number and e-mail address to cope at cope.bc.ca.

PRIVACY NOTE: The names and addresses of subscribers to COPE E-lerts will
