Column was right on the mark

Editor: In response to Wagler's Watch, (Coast Reporter, April 2), a superb column. Right on the money. Let's all go there, yet how? It's about the whole community coming together.

It's about the whole community coming together. Remember that day back in February when we turned out for the Olympic Flame? We can turn that savoir faire and enthusiasm towards development, particularly when it affects us all. We chose to come here for different reasons: family, remote beauty and sense of community. The Sunshine Coast rocks, and with support from all we can dream dreams and make amazing decisions towards making this area move forward to provide a viable place for our children, grandchildren and those who want to visit.

It's all right to attend public meetings without having a beef to make; just show your enthusiasm, and it will be contagious. Consider the Sechelt Aquatic Centre and Gibsons and Area Community Centre, which took eons to be accepted by taxpayers - and wow, look how well they are being used. We can do it. We need a huge boost on the Coast economically. Think smaller, one project at a time, and it will come around.

See you at the next public meeting with all those bells and whistles.
