LETTER: Sidney following the path of Leduc, Alta.

LETTER: Sidney following the path of Leduc, Alta.

My favourite city in all the world, Sidney, B.C., succumbs to big business. Yes, my parents lived there for over 20 years, and I made it a high priority to visit a minimum of three or four times a year. I loved its quaintness, the lack of big-box stores. My dad told me way back when that the airport was trying to develop on their property and the city refused, citing what I heard was the perception of a detrimental effect.

LETTER: Dogs must be kept under control on trails

I read with interest the two letters in the Sept. 1 issue of the Saanich BԪַ. As it happens, my daughter was walking through Mount Douglas Park that morning as she often does. She passed two women walking a dog. As she passed, the dog turned and grabbed my daughter in the leg. The lady in BԪַcontrolBԪַ of the dog was a friend of the owner who was also there. The owner immediately took control of the dog.

LETTER: Amazon warehouse will fit right in with ugly condos

Re: The Amazon warehouse. Never mind the huge eye sore in the beautiful town of Sidney (itBԪַs across the highway), what about all the tall ugly condos that have been put up all around Sidney. They look terrible.

Beefs and Bouquets for Sept. 9

BOUQUET: Kudos and many thanks to the CRD work crews who so quickly and efficiently clear the Galloping Goose trail of the fallen trees and debris from the trail after our frequent wind storms of late.

LETTER: Police resources key to road safety

Having had a deliberately dangerous driver speed around me in a playground zone this morning, I ask if Dean Murdock voted for more funding for police when he was on Saanich council.

LETTER: Bridge closures could prove fatal

LETTER: Bridge closures could prove fatal

One of these days, one of these unlawful bridge closing actions is going to result in the death of somebodyBԪַs loved one, because first responders could not get through the chaos to do their vital jobs. This nonsense must end, and our mayor and council must condemn it immediately and unequivocally.
LETTER: Saanich working to develop safer routes to school

LETTER: Saanich working to develop safer routes to school

We are stuck in a cycle, and thatBԪַs not a good thing. IBԪַve heard some parents are afraid to let their kids walk or bike to school because there are too many cars. In consequence, they drive their kids to schoolBԪַand the cycle repeats. We know our schools werenBԪַt built to handle so many cars and they often need to close or restrict their drop-off loops, if they have one.
