VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Vancouver city council has passed a motion that will see the mayor proclaim 'Trevor Linden' day, the day the Canucks retire his jersey number.

Council also directed its street naming committee to find a way to recognize the former Canucks captain, who officially announced his retirement yesterday.

Linden puts Norton through the glass.

Linden is a class act. I'd love to see him stay with the Canucks as part of their brand, they need his consistancy to bridge these changing times. I'm sure he'll land on his feet and I wish him the best of luck.

I sent an email to the Mayor regarding Linden yesterday. I was replied the following.

Thank you for your email which has been circulated for information to the Mayor, Council, City Manager, Chief and Coordinator, both of External Relations & Protocol, and forwarded to the attention of the Manager of Community Relations to the Mayor.

Hello:
