1.6 Trust Amendment
Consideration was given to a report from the City Solicitor in which he reviewed the
issue of application to the Court to vary the terms of the J.D. O'Connell Trust to allow
"... the yearly income arising from the Trust to be applied towards providing children and
youth in financial need with opportunities to participate in sport, art, recreational or
cultural activities." He added that he believed the initiative was taken with the P.R.O.
Kids program in mind though the support of the Trust income would not have been
confined to that organization, noting that the original intent was to pass funds along to
orphanages in the City.
Mr. Nugent advised that the Court rejected the City's proposed change to the Trust,
expressing the view that the Court had jurisdiction only to permit the application of the
Trust funds" ... to some other charitable purpose as nearly as possible resembling the
original trust", and that the City's proposal failed on this point since what was requested
did not aim at benefiting underpriviledged children in Saint John at Christmas time.
The City Solicitor presented Council with the following three possibilities, recommended
the third option and offered the resolution cited below.
1. Application to wind up the Trust;
2. An application that the City be retired as Trustee; and
3. A re-wording of the variation requested.

occasions de participer aux sports, aux arts, aux loisirs et aux activites culturelles. >> II
ajoute qu'a son avis I'initiative avait ete entreprise en prevoyant Ie programme
P.R.O. Kids, mais que les revenus provenant de la fiducie n'auraient pas ete limites a
I'appui de cet organisme et, il souligne que I'intention originale visait a distribuer des
fonds aux orphelinats de la ville.

fonds <<...a un autre objectif de bienfaisance qui ressemblerait autant que possible a la
fiducie originale >> et, que la proposition de la ville avait echoue sur ce point puisque la

... generally, as he considers necessary for the purposes of carrying out the provisions
of this act. ", none has been promulgated dealing with the matter of qualifications of
