Editor:
Most of us can find the time to make a phone call or write a letter if we have something to complain about. But how many of us do likewise when praise is deserving? Not many of us, we suspect, hence all the more reason for this letter.
We were two of the people who felt change was in order at election time and were most satisfied with the outcome. But as we know only too well, talk can be cheap. Fortunately, this does not appear to be the case for the recently elected Sechelt mayor and council. We want to compliment them all on the very impressive start they have made during their brief term in office.
We are very excited by the new sense of vibrancy and activity taking place on many fronts in and around Sechelt, and this seems to be a feeling shared by many of the people we have spoken with.
After many years of lethargy, it finally looks like we are moving strongly forward with confidence and enthusiasm - congratulations to you all!
In response to Val Morris's comments on spending (Coast Reporter letters, April 13), we think it is important to note that it is referred to as "the business of politics" for a reason. Getting the message out there takes money. We commend John Henderson on spending his own money to enact change for something that he believed in and also appreciate the great efforts of For a Better Sechelt in helping to raise awareness on the importance of making our voting voices heard within the community. Again, our compliments to all of you!
Geoff and Carolyn White
