Langford offered many chances for public input I would like to clear up some misconceptions surrounding Langford council’s decision to enact a tree protection bylaw.
Above all, we feel that there is overwhelming public support for this bylaw. People have voiced their support for this measure at recent council meetings, and individually I and other council members have heard from the public on numerous occasions requesting this kind of action.
Similarly, others have suggested that the bylaw was rushed, and did not provide an opportunity for public consultation, yet everyone who wished to address council on this matter was afforded an opportunity to be heard during the past three council meetings and may again address council on this matter when it comes forward for adoption in February.Council last Monday also initiated a plan to develop an overarching urban forest management strategy for Langford.
Otherwise why would they be speeding in both directions up and down my one-way street each day? Or perhaps when you are as big as Amazon, such local trivia as traffic signs don’t apply.More high praise for health-care workers Having spent the night of Jan. 13 in the emergency room of the Royal Jubilee Hospital, I have a greater understanding of, and sympathy for our health-care workers.
I am praying for a government that has integrity and empathy for the people in our fast declining Canada.Aiming for the big prize in a brilliant plan Let me congratulate former premier John Horgan on his courage to commit 16 billion of our tax and hydro-rate dollars to completing former-former premier Christy Clark’s Site C dam.
So we’ll talk about the prize of flooding the Peace Valley, finally ending foolish talk about B.C. food security. We get our food from California. Yes, they do sometimes have dry spells and sometimes it rains, but we have faith: Trust the market. As a North Saanich resident, I was, like almost every sentient being on the Peninsula, aware of the royals’ stay here. Your own editor wrote a letter to his readers reminding us that even if we knew where they were staying, to leave them alone. I think we did as requested. And I know of people who had fun directing the hapless paparazzi to far-off sites when they asked for directions. We were all in on this one.
