REPORT
As described in the City of Saint John Arts and Culture Policy, adopted by Common Council on
September 26, 2005, the arts make a substantial contribution to the quality of life and vitality
of our community. The City of Saint John believes that one of the most effective means of
facilitating the development of arts and culture in Saint John is to provide funding support to
non-profits arts and/or cultural organizations serving our community. In this way, arts and
culture organizations are encouraged to establish themselves, enhance their services, and
provide their programming to the community. Accordingly, the city, through the Saint John
Community Arts Board,has implemented the Community Arts Funding Program. This program
is designed to provide project support for non-profit organizations or groups wishing to offer
quality arts activities in any discipline of the creative arts within the City of Saint John.
The Community Arts Funding Program (Small Grants Program) is administered by the Saint John
Community Arts Board on behalf of the City of Saint John. The Community Arts Board consists
of residents and one Councilor all appointed by Common Council; the jury consistsof three
.
The2026 General Fund Operating Budget includesa $70,000 budget for SaintJohn
Community Arts Board, with $40,000 allocatedfor the Small Grant Funding Program.
The Program provides financial support in two categories:
Project/Activity Funding Arts-related projects, activities, events, or initiatives
(including a series of activities or events) that are primarily participatory, actively
engage the public, are educational in nature, or that develop the arts in the community.

Festival
Award:$3,500
As part of the 5th Anniversary of the Día de los Muertos Atlantic Canada Festival, the
project will transform the waterfront passage connecting the Boardwalk to AREA 506
through two temporary public art installations created with the community.
Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a Mexican cultural tradition that honours and
remembers loved ones who have passed away. Families and communities create
colourful altars, or ofrendas, using photographs, flowers, candles, food, and personal
objects to celebrate their lives and keep their memories present. Inspired by this
tradition, families, youth, community members, and students from the University of
New Brunswick will be invited to participate in a hands-on art workshop led by local
professional visual artists.
Thecreative process will provide an accessible opportunity for people of different ages
and backgrounds to connect through art, memory, and storytelling. Rather than simply
experiencing a cultural tradition as spectators, participants will become co-creators,
contributing their own creativity and memories to a shared public artwork.

Re: Saint John Energy Provincial Legislative Modernization
Dear Mayor and Members of Common Council,
As Council develops and ,weask that modernization of
the provincial legislative framework governing Saint John Energy be considered as part of that process. We
believe modernization represents an important strategic priority for the City and an opportunity to create
significant long-term value for Saint John.
Saint John Energy has served the residents and businesses of Saint John for more than a century. Today, the
utility is helping position Saint John for the next generation of economic and energy opportunities while
continuing to deliver reliable electricity at rates below those paid by many customers elsewhere in New
Brunswickand Atlantic Canada.
The electricity sector, however, is changing rapidly. Electrification, renewable generation, energy storage,
distributed energy resources, electric vehicles, emerging technologies and significant new industrial loads are
fundamentally changing the role of local utilities. At the same time, Saint John is competing with jurisdictions
across Canada and North America for investment, jobs and population growth.
value for its customers and for the City.
Appropriate governance, accountability and financial safeguards can be incorporated while preserving the
innovative and nimble culture that has allowed Saint John Energy to become a nationally recognized utility.
For Saint John, the potential benefits are significant:
Affordability:New revenue streams, energy projects and innovative services can help reduce
pressure on electricity rates and keep more value within the community.
Economic development:Competitive energy solutions are increasingly important to attracting and
retaining industry, including emerging sectors with significant electricity requirements.
Investment and jobs:Energy projects and partnerships can attract private investment, create
employment and
Energy transition:Greater flexibility would allow Saint John Energy to support renewable energy,
storage, electrification, demand management and other technologies that can lower costs and
emissions.
Municipal value creation:As the owner of Saint John Energy, the City has an opportunity to
leverage one of its most valuable assets to create broader economic and community benefits.
Innovation and competitiveness:Modern legislation would allow Saint John Energy to respond
more quickly to opportunities and continue demonstrating how a locally owned utility can deliver
value for its customers and community.
o modernize a century-old
legislative framework so that the utility can continue to protect affordability while becoming a stronger tool for
economic development and community prosperity.
The Province has indicated a willingness to consider modernization of the legislative framework governing
Saint John Energy. Municipal support will be important as those discussions advance.
We therefore respectfully request that Common Council consider including provincial legislative
modernization for Saint John Energy a
Government of New Brunswick for a modern enabling framework that protects ratepayers while allowing
Saint John Energy to pursue opportunities that benefit its customers, its shareholder and the broader Saint John
community.
Thank you for your continued support of Saint John Energy and for considering this important opportunity as

REPORT
Executive Summary
On June 24, 2025, the applicant and owner, MostofaIqbal, applied to rezone 90 Douglas Avenue.
The application was revised and deemed complete on May 26, 2026. The applicant describes the
project as an adaptive reuse of the vacant place of worship building to establish an
accommodation use. The building would include 10 guest rooms, common space, an office, and
Staff recommends in favour of the rezoning that would allow for the establishment of an
accommodation use.
Please note that the remainder of this report is comprised of excerpts from the PAC Staff Report.
The site is located within the Stable Residential designation, an area identified in Plan SJ as
generally built out, but with the potential for additional development that aligns with existing
scale and context. While not residential, the proposed use is compatible with residential, as it is
anticipated to be a low-intensity, low-trip generating use that will not negatively impact
surrounding properties.
Policy LU-87:
Intend that the areas designated Stable Residential will evolve over time from a land use and
built-form perspective but that new and redeveloped land uses are to reinforce the predominant
community character and make a positive contribution to the neighbourhood.
The proposal is consistent with this vision, as it would result in the activation of a disused
structure that forms part of the character and heritage of the existing neighbourhood. While 90
Douglas Avenue does not have a historic designation, the Fundy St. Lawrence Dawning Waters
Regional Council Archives records the site as the location of a Presbyterian mission Sunday
School, first opened in 1887. Following a fire that destroyed the original church building, the
current structure was constructed and dedicated in 1919.
The preservation and adaptive reuse of this Gothic Revival-in
historic and architectural character, while also making the neighbourhood more vibrant and
active. The proposed rezoning of this site is an effort to preserve a community landmark that may
otherwise remain vacant and continue to deteriorate.
The development is low-rise in scale and is reflective of the surrounding neighbourhood context.
While the use may be designated commercial, it is comparable with the established character of
the area.
Accommodation use is an appropriate transitional use between a residential neighbourhood and
nearby commercial. An accommodation use would serve as a gentle transition between the
commercial to the north of the property, and the residential to the south. Furthermore, the
fronting of the building immediately along Douglas Avenue preserves the sense of space and
historic character of the area. There is a precedent of historic buildings being re-used as
accommodation, with Chipman Hill Suites and the adjacent B&B Homeport at 80 Douglas Avenue
serving as examples. This re-use serves a dual purpose of preserving an existing structure and
supporting the growing cultural and tourism sector of the area, which will be rooted in the re-
development of the New Brunswick Museum. Other accommodation uses in the city are also
located within the Stable Residential designation including the Château Saint John Hotel & Suites.
Policy UD-9(k)(v):
Encourage sustainability in design by promoting the conservation and adaptive re-use of existing.
The proposed reuse of an existing vacant structure is consistent with this policy direction.
Based on the analysis of the proposed development under the Stable Residential designation,
the proposal is consistent with the policies of the Municipal Plan, which support the evolution of
existing neighbourhoods and reuse and redevelopment of existing buildings.
Zoning
The Neighbourhood Community Facility (CFN) zone is intended to support institutional, and
community uses such as schools and places of worship. Theproposed accommodation use isnot
permitted in the current zone and requires a rezoning to a compatible commercial zone. The
General Commercial (CG) zone has been proposed for the site.
The surrounding area includes a mix of Mid-Rise Residential (RM), Urban Centre Residential (RC),
CFN and CG zoning. The parcel directly north is zoned CG and operates as a bed and breakfast. In
ground-oriented
structure, conformity with the development pattern of nearby RM and RC properties, and
adjacency to an existing CG property. The proposed use is expected to have minimal impact on
neighbouring properties.
-Law
Standards for CG zone, and the other development regulations of the By-Law including the
provision of on-site parking, landscaping, and site access. The Zoning By-law requires 1 parking
otal of 11 parking spaces. The
site has a 32 by 15-meter paved parking lot to the rear of the building, which is shown on the site
plan accommodating 13 parking spaces.
Provincial Statements of Public Interest(SPIs)
The proposed development aligns with the Provincial Statements of Public Interest. Specifically,
it aligns with SP.9, which emphasizes the importance of promoting development in downtown
and urban cores. While slightly outside the Uptown core, the site is ideal for intensification and
active reuse of a vacant structure.
Section 59
Staff are not recommending the inclusion of any Section 59 conditions as part of the rezoning
process. Site development must be undertaken in alignment with the requirements of the Zoning
By-Law and the Building Code.
Conclusion
The proposed application aligns with the adopted Municipal Plan, the processes outlined in the
Zoning By-Laws, Provincial Statements of Public Interest, and with agency reviews.

A NALYSIS
Proposal
The applicant proposes to rezone 90 Douglas Avenue from Neighbourhood Community Facility
(CFN) to General Commercial (CG) with the intent to convert the vacant, one-storey former place
of worship building into a commercial use. The accommodation use would create 10 guest
rooms, which contain their own bathroom. Occupants will share a common area. An additional
office and caretaker’s unit with a dedicated kitchen and bathroom will be housed in the same
structure.
Site and Neighbourhood
Located within the Old North End, the property fronts onto Douglas Avenue and is directly
across from the Divine Mercy Campus. Douglas Avenue is a character corridor in the City, which
is noted for the Douglas Avenue Heritage Conservation Area. The existing structure was used
as a place of worship until approximately 2002.
The parcel immediately to the north of the site is zoned General Commercial and contains an
accommodation use that operates as a bed and breakfast. The broader area contains a range
of housing types and zoning forms. Nearby commercial nodes include the Main Street Corridor
and the Lansdowne Plaza area. Douglas Avenue also contains the New Brunswick Museum,
which is currently undergoing an expansion.
Access to the site is provided via Douglas Avenue, which has bike and pedestrian facilities that
connect to Main Street, Harbour Passage, and the broader Uptown and North End
neighbourhoods. Bus service is provided through stops immediately to the North and South of
90 Douglas Avenue, and broader city-wide connections are available through bus stops on
nearby Main Street.
Plan and Policy Alignment
As part of the application review, staff assessed the proposal’s alignment with the Municipal
Plan (Attachment 2). The site is located within the Stable Residential designation, an area
identified in Plan SJ as generally built out, but with the potential for additional development that
aligns with existing scale and context. While not residential, the proposed use is compatible
with residential, as it is anticipated to be a low-intensity, low-trip generating use that will not
negatively impact surrounding properties.
Policy LU-87:
Intend that the areas designated Stable Residential will evolve over time from a land use and
built-form perspective but that new and redeveloped land uses are to reinforce the predominant
community character and make a positive contribution to the neighbourhood.

Councillor Moore Councillor WyattAdministrative Officer
Councillor DempseyAmy Poffenroth, Chief
Development & Community
Officer
PROPOSED MOTION:
THAT the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) engageswith the Province of New Brunswick to seek
the immediate identification and support of a local lead organization and governance framework to
coordinate homelessness prevention and response efforts in Saint John;
THAT the CAO report back to Common Council by October 2, 2026, with an update on engagement
with the provinceand an overview of the current roles and responsibilities of the organizations and
agencies responsible for homelessness prevention and response in Saint John, including clarification
of the municipality's role and responsibilities within a future local governance framework;
THAT the province and the designated lead organization be requested to provide Common Council
with an update on the proposed governance framework, priorities, and actions needed to address
homelessness in Saint Johnas soon as practicable, recognizing the urgency of the situation.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Many organizations and all orders of governmentare involved in
prevention and response, but no clear structure aligns leadership, planning, funding, services, and
accountability.
Housing for All Strategy identifies coordination and governance as priorities. Clear roles
and strong leadership will better align resources, strengthen accountability, and focus partners on
shared outcomes across housing, health, social services, public safety, and government.
This motion is also consistent with A Path Home: Provincial Strategy on Homelessness, which
recognizes homelessness as a shared responsibility and identifies stronger coordination,
collaboration, local leadership, and accountability as key priorities. The provincial strategy calls for
community-based leadership and coordinated action to align planning, services, and outcomes.
Accordingly, this motion directs the CAO to work with the Province of New Brunswick toward three
outcomes for Saint John: a provincially supported local lead organization, a local governance and
coordination framework, and a local action plan for homelessness prevention and reduction.
The motion does not create new programs, establish new services, or commit additional funding.
Rather, it seeks to better coordinate efforts, clearly define responsibilities, and achieve improved
outcomes for individuals experiencing homelessness, and for the broader community.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT:
The motion advances the Housing for All Strategy, particularly Strategic Objective 1: Coordination
. It strengthens partnerships, accountability,
evidence-based decisions, and access to safe, supported, sustainable housing.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES:
The motion has no direct financial impact and authorizes no programs, services, or funding. Staff
will consult partners, assess governance options, and recommend action. Council must approve of
any future financial, service, or staffing changes.
INPUT FROM OTHERS:
High-level conversations were held with the Human Development Council regarding the current role
of the Community Council on Homelessness and local coordination of homelessness prevention and
response.

PROPOSED MOTION:
Be It Resolved that Common Council request, by formal letter, that the Fundy Regional Service
Commission and/or its Regional Facilities Committee reconsider any decision to decline transitional
funding for the Canada Games Aquatic Centre.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Whereas the Canada Games Aquatic Centre is a regional facility that provides important aquatic,
fitness, and recreational services to residents throughout the Saint John region; and
Whereas the Aquatic Centre is facing a renovation period that may result in a significant
interruption of operations lasting approximately 1518 months; and
Whereas it has been represented that approximately $125,000 in transitional funding could permit
the continuation of meaningful aquatic and fitness programming through alternative facilities and
temporary locations while helping retain a substantial portion of the Aquatic Centre workforce; and
Whereas the loss of a significant amount of employees, even on a temporary basis, would have
critical impacts on affected workers and families, reduce economic activity within the region, and
risk the loss of trained and experienced lifeguards, instructors, fitness professionals, and other
operational staff; and
Whereas maintaining continuity of programming and preserving institutional knowledge during the
renovation period would support a successful reopening of the facility and reduce future
recruitment, training, and restart costs;

In the period between enactment of the amending By-law and its entry into force on January 1, 2027, the following
actions will be taken by City staff to prepare for the revised Procedure for Statutory Public Hearings under
Schedule B of By-law Number LG-15.
1. Speaker Registration System
A speaker registration system will be established to record speakers who register through the advanced
registration process. Paper sign-up sheets will be made available outside Council Chambers for in-person
registration on the day of each Public Hearing. The City Clerk's Office will confirm the registration channel
phone, email, and/or web form prior to the first hearing held under Schedule B.
2. City Website Public Hearing Landing Page and FAQ
A dedicated landing page will be created on the City's website providing clear information on the Public Hearing
process, including how to register to speak, registration deadlines, how and when to submit presentation
materials, and what participants can expect on the day of the hearing. A plain-language Frequently Asked
Questions document will be published alongside the landing page and will be linked from the City's Planning,
Development, and City Council web pages.
3. Social Media and Public Awareness Campaign
An education and awareness campaign will be conducted through the City's website and social media channels to
inform residents of the upcoming procedural changes prior to the first hearing held under Schedule B. This will
include an initial announcement post, a procedural change notice to remain active on the City website for a
minimum of 90 days following entry into force.
4. Signage Outside Council Chambers
New bilingual signage will be installed on the second floor of City Hall, outside Council Chambers, directing
participants to the registration table and providing information on registration timelines and contact information
for the City Clerk's Office.
5. In-Person Staff Presence
City staff will be present outside Council Chambers from 5:30 p.m. to 5:55 p.m. on the evening of each Public
Hearing to assist participants with in-person registration. The in-person registration window closes five minutes
before the Council meeting is called to order, consistent with Schedule B.
6. Council Briefing
Prior to the changes coming into effect, Members of Council will be provided a briefing on the updated Public
Hearing procedure at the last Council meeting in December 2026.
This Implementation Plan is aimed at generating public awareness of the revised procedure for Statutory Public
Hearings and ensuring a smooth operational transition for participants, applicants, and Council. While there may
be a learning curve with the initial implementation of Schedule B, City staff are prepared to support the public in
understanding the updated procedures.

Dear colleagues,
The latest escalation ofU.S. tariffson Canadian goodsis another reminder that although we cannot
control what President Trump does, we can control what we do here at home.
Our government is taking steps to use our purchasing power to support New Brunswick and Canadian
jobs, products, and businesses.
Effective October 1, we will prohibit the procurement of U.S. goods and services for contracts valued over
$5 million, other thanin exceptional circumstances.I am asking your organization to join us.
Please take a fresh look at your supply chains in order toidentify opportunities to choose New Brunswick
products wherever possible. Where there is no New Brunswick option, I encourage you to look to
Canadian alternatives.
Our businesses support our communities, help drive our economy, and employ our friends, family
members, and neighbours. Every purchasing decision is an opportunity to supportthe businesses and
workers who supportNew Brunswick each and every day.
We are stronger when we stand together, and I hope you will join us in supporting New Brunswick and
Canadian businesses through this period of ongoinguncertainty.
With gratitude,
Susan Holt
