Ms. K. Cooper advised that the Mayor's Advisory Council for Kitchener Seniors (MACKS) has
indicated an interest in continuing with the work identified at the All Committees meeting held in
March. A request for minutes of that meeting has been made. Ms. Cooper confirmed that the
notes taken at the meeting will be circulated to all Committee Administrators shortly.
With respect to the question of holding another All Committees meeting, Ms. Cooper reminded
members the current terms end on November 30th and new members will be appointed and
begin meeting in January 2021. Also, and until further notice, all meetings will continue to be
held virtually. If another All Committees was favoured for 2020, it would need to be held using
Zoom technology.
Several members expressed a desire to not lose the momentum from the last gathering;
however, given the realities of the pause of meetings due to the pandemic and the fact that new
committees will be appointed in the near future, it was decided to delay scheduling another All
Committee meeting until the first half of 2021 and hope that an in-person session can be held.
In lieu of holding an in-person gathering, Ms. L. Trumper suggested conducting an introductory
virtual meeting early in 2021 with all advisory committees in order to introduce CK to other
committees/members.

Members reviewed the list of Strategic Actions from the 2019-2020 Strategic Plan to finalize the
metrics to be used to measure the identified outcome. This information will be shared with CLT
and Council as guidelines to evaluate the success of each action.
During this discussion, Mr. O. Samad, Ms. M. Bowman and Ms. L. Fioze left the meeting and a
quorum was no longer present.
EVALUATION OF STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
As the Committee was unable to review the draft 2020 Business Plan (BP) and provide comment
on the evaluation of the Strategic Plan's implementation, members were requested to review the
BP in the next few days and provide any feedback to be incorporated into the staff report to Ms.
Cooper as soon as possible.
