[Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Councillors,

FYI, please see email from the GAC Chair below informing us of a meeting 
planned for Toronto. I have also copied my response to this email below.

This is for information purposes only at this stage. I will continue to push to 
find out more about the meeting and inform the Council when appropriate.

Thanks,
