Deputy Mayor Shelley Rinehart suggesting the city adopt a “no flowers” policy when it comes to honouring the memory of people who pass.
Rinehart says common council is expected to pay its respects to a lot of former staff and others, and charitable donations are a better use of funds.
She points out while flowers are beautiful, they’re temporary, and donations to worthy causes in the community live on for much longer. The matter will be discussed at Monday’s council meeting.
