4. USE OF CITY FACILITIES FOR Military TRADE SHOWS
UTILISATION D'INSTALLATIONS MUNICIPALES POUR LES EXPOSITIONS DE MATÉRIEL
MILITAIRE
ACS2009-CMR-CSE-0008 city-wide / À l’Échelle de la ville
Whereas on April 19, 1989, the former City of Ottawa
passed a Motion 11 to 1 resolving that Lansdowne Park and other city facilities
not be leased to any future arms exhibitions;
And Whereas for the first time in 20 years a Canadian
exhibition of military hardware and technology, called CANSEC 2009, took place
at Lansdowne Park from 27-28 May;
and Whereas the arms trade has little or no
consideration of moral or humanitarian issues in that weapons can and have been
used against civilians; and
and Whereas exports of Canadian military equipment and
components end up in countries which persistently violate human rights;
and Whereas the international arms trade serves to
increase militarization throughout the world and is inconsistent with arms
limitations efforts;
and Whereas Lansdowne Park is a publicly supported
recreation and trade show facility;
and Whereas, when Lansdowne Park was purchased by the
Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton, according to City Legal Services, the
1989 Council motion no longer applied to Lansdowne Park;
Therefore be it resolved that the City of Ottawa's 1989
Motion be applied to Lansdowne Park and all other city facilities, so that they
not be leased to CANSEC or other such military exhibitions; and
Be It Further Resolved that the City of Ottawa call upon
the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada to pass similar Motions to
prevent the leasing of their facilities to such military trade shows.
