LETTER: Plants mistaken for invasive species

Well, IB次元官网网址檝e opened a can of worms in trying to raise awareness that the highly invasive shiny geranium is present in the CRD. Judging from the Facebook posts for the various Black Press Media outlets, many people are jumping to the conclusion that theyB次元官网网址檝e seen this plant or have it on their property, when itB次元官网网址檚 actually one of the similar-looking geraniums found in this area.

LETTER: Sidney shouldnB次元官网网址檛 be afraid to face future

Metathesiophobia B次元官网网址 a phobia that causes people to avoid changing their circumstances due to being extremely afraid of the unknown B次元官网网址 seems to rule SidneyB次元官网网址檚 community planning process. In their most recent meeting, seemingly with an eye on their re-election prospects and certainly not the future, Sidney council gutted two really forward-looking elements of their draft OCP.

LETTER: Drivers are what create hazards on Highway 14

At one time I thought Premier John Horgan was good for B.C., however, when he stated Highway 14 was a bad road I thought he may have lost it. There really are no bad roads, it is the lawbreakers that are whatB次元官网网址檚 bad on a road.

LETTER: Development destroying communityB次元官网网址檚 charm

LETTER: Development destroying communityB次元官网网址檚 charm

I would like to point out with regards to changes in downtown Sidney, the previous council approved development permits for the high-rises being built, not the present council.

LETTER: PremierB次元官网网址檚 priorities out of touch

How ironic that B.C.B次元官网网址檚 premier announces his government will be spending an estimated $789 million of taxpayer dollars to replace a 54-year-old complex which currently houses the Royal BC Museum and the next day he is suggesting to the same people that they try not to use their cars or if possible ask a friend to give them a ride in order to save money on gasoline.

I write in response to a letter written by Ron Baker, B次元官网网址淒onB次元官网网址檛 blame the current council for development disruptions,B次元官网网址 published in the May 12 Peninsula B次元官网网址 Review insofar as it references densification and construction disruption in Sidney.
LETTER: The museum can wait

LETTER: The museum can wait

We were appalled with hearing how much the government is going to spend on the Royal B.C. Museum. We need doctors, nurses and to have our clinics open again. Doctors are very underpaid and very important to the people of B.C.

LETTER: SidneyB次元官网网址檚 problems canB次元官网网址檛 be laid at feet of current council

Please donB次元官网网址檛 take the collective anger over the extensive development in downtown Sidney to the ballot box in October. The noise, disruptions and never-ending inconveniences we have had to endure do not belong at the feet of the present council.
