LETTER: Sidney has seen enough change

LETTER: Sidney has seen enough change

Thank you Nat Klein for your very concise description of our Sidney Wharf in your letter to the editor in the Aug. 19 BԪַ Review. We have a long way to go until 2028. I think we have had enough BԪַchangeBԪַ in Sidney BԪַ from a delightful small town with a BԪַbig townBԪַ feeling into Condo City. Council: Leave some character behind, please.

LETTER: Student housing problem extends beyond Oak Bay

LETTER: Council must listen to residentsBԪַ concerns

LETTER: Council must listen to residentsBԪַ concerns

Two letters in Oak Bay BԪַ of Aug. 19 provide even more evidence that council is not attuned to residentsBԪַ interests and acting accordingly. However, it may be the administration who are acting as gatekeepers, holding back information and bent on preventing council from interacting with the voters.
LETTER: Aliens nothing to fear

LETTER: Aliens nothing to fear

Is alien life real? I cannot prove it, but I think probably yes. We as a species (humans) should not be too paranoid. If they really wanted to hurt us they would have done so by now. Perhaps someday we will have a good exchange of knowledge and ideas with alien life and develop a friendship with them.

LETTER: Fish market a symbol of Sidney

LETTER: Fish market a symbol of Sidney

I noticed that the new Sidney calendar for 2022 is proudly displayed at a local bookstore. That the calendar is about the Town of Sidney is readily apparent in that the cover photo is of the blue and white building housing the fish market on the public wharf.
LETTER: Parks strategy will help protect environmentally sensitive areas

LETTER: Parks strategy will help protect environmentally sensitive areas

We have been dog owners throughout the 35 years that we have lived in Saanich. We support the Saanich People, Pets, and Parks Strategy and believe that there are many others in the community who support such a direction and who are concerned for the safety of their children, their elders, and their dogs. We also believe there are many in the community who are concerned about dogs running freely in environmentally sensitive areas in our parks.

LETTER: Closure of COVID assessment centres places undue strain on doctors

I am a patient of Dr. Bourdon with Shoreline Medical Clinic (Brentwood Bay/Sidney). This morning on my Telehealth appointment, my doctor looked exhausted, worn out, frustrated and struggling, particularly due to a decision that the government made to close COVID assessment centres with Island Health.

LETTER: New world exclusion zones

LETTER: New world exclusion zones

Last week, I observed an indigenous youth, corralled by three burly RCMP officers, trussed up and hauled away from the Fairy Creek blockade. Earlier, Teal Jones employees set a large iron gate blocking Granite Main, the main access road to the upper Fairy Creek old-growth forest.
