Opinion

Editor: I am moved to send this letter after walking around the provincialpicnic site on Beach Avenue in Roberts Creek. I was disgusted to see many blue, full poop bags just discarded.

Editor: I read a notice last week that as of April 22, West Vancouver residents will have garbage collection every other week and recycling materials picked up every week.

Editor: Just how stupid and gullible does a certain Vancouver reporter think the people of Sechelt are? She recently launched a scathing, one-sided attack on Sechelt's mayor in a story that was full of misinformation and innuendo.

A strange thing happened after adjournment Wednesday afternoon at District of Sechelt council's committee of the whole meeting.

Editor: Unfortunately 300 words are not enough to address all the concerns I have.

The following letter was sent to Sechelt mayor and council and copied to Coast Reporter for publication.

A dictionary definition of a volunteer reads: a person who performs or offers to perform a service voluntarily.

Editor: Congratulations on an excellent and on point editorial (Coast Reporter, April 12) about the proposed "rapid change" to create an instant traffic nightmare in downtown Sechelt.

Editor: The proposed new wastewater treatment plant will operate for 50-plus years. In that time there will be a spill. There will be a mechanical breakdown, a power outage and/or a scheduled maintenance when a tank full of raw sewage must be dumped.

Editor: Jef Keighley's comments (A tall order, Coast Reporter letters, April 19) provides me with a perfect example of unhelpful Coastal negativity when it comes to trying to achieve anything in this community.
