Editor:
I read the article re: the Blue Ocean Golf Club and Lamborghini hotel (Coast Reporter, May 29). What the blazes is a Lamborghini hotel? Sounds snooty. I picture rich people arriving in Lamborghinis and BMWs. I also picture 140 hotel rooms with toilets flushing, showers showering, water running.
Every summer we run low on water. And with global warming, the climate here will get drier, and we’ll have less rain. There will be more watering restrictions. In future years, we may be faced with allowable days for doing laundry or running the dishwasher. Will there be signs in hotel rooms saying: Even numbered rooms may flush toilets and shower on Tuesdays and Thursdays; odd numbered rooms on Wednesdays and Fridays? I think not.
The golf course will apparently be kept green using “recycled” water from Sechelt’s Water Resource Centre. As for “real” water, we don’t have enough to spare. Summer has just begun and already we need a lot more rain. What we don’t need on the Sunshine Coast are more hotels, convention centres, condo complexes and big subdivisions sucking up precious water.
