Editor: Finally, a march we will all be happy to join! The build-up to COP21, the UN Paris Climate Summit, has been tremendous. National Geographic devoted its entire November 2015 issue to the topic and put it all online.

Editor: Last week’s paper contained a disturbing letter and related reportage about Gibsons council making a decision about appropriating funds intended for parks to their capital fund.

Editor: Sunshine Coasters will join millions around the world in the Global Climate March in Vancouver at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 29 starting from the Vancouver Art Gallery on Georgia Street.

Editor: I am interested to know why the Town of Gibsons has funded a new sidewalk on the water side of North Road.

Editor: I belong to a society called For the Love of Gospel Rock. We have started a campaign to purchase Gospel Rock block 7. We would like support from the mayor and council and hope to also have help financially from the parks acquisition fund.

Editor: I read with dismay about the decline in pool use in Gibsons and Sechelt, particularly by children (“Projected $50K deficit for recreation centres,” Nov. 5). Parents, if we don’t make use of this community resource, we will lose it.

Editor: I was delighted to see the article in your publication last week about the tribute to Joni Mitchell currently at GPAG (“Gallery looks at life from Both Sides Now”). It is great to see such support for local endeavours.

Editor: I’ve been part of the Sunshine Coast community for 13 years now, raising my family, supporting local businesses, taking advantage of the amazing natural surroundings we call home.

Editor: Re: “South Coast Ford sign nixed by council,” Nov. 13.

Editor: Your report of Nov. 13 on the rejection of the new sign at South Coast Ford’s facility on Wharf Street shows poor judgment by Sechelt council. Since the bylaw is not clear, council has decided to interpret it retroactively.
