On Monday the Vancouver Parks Board elected a Green Party Commissioner as Chair. He was elected by an NPA Commissioner going independent. The Board has 7 Commissioners in total. There are now 2 Green Party Commissioners and 1 Vision Commissioner who are hopefully all on the cetaceans' side. The new Independent member could be the tie breaker against captivity. The remaining 3 NPA Commissioners are with the party that watered down the Cetacean Bylaw over the years. They stopped the intended purpose to phase out all cetaceans. So hope is on the horizon for change! http://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/vancouver-park-board-elects-green-chairman-party-says-whale-captivity-key-issue
