I applaud Jeff StanhopeB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s letter to the Review regarding Alice FinallB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s commentary on the direction the North Saanich OCP is taking. His letter was bang on. North Saanich has been valued as a rural district. It is the green space, or as Alice Finall says, the lungs of the region.

I was glad to hear that the new wastewater treatment plant is up and running in Esquimalt. Unfortunately, construction continues at Clover Point.

I disagree with the writer of the letter, Government duplicating services, in regards to the Braefoot building. The services alluded to are geared towards different populations. Why does it have to be one provider versus another? We can have both.

I remember when Crown land in Metchosin, 98 acres of prime forest, meadow, and pond, was turned over to the Boys and Girls Club for outdoor adventure programs for youth at risk. Who could argue with such a noble cause? Support from all levels of government and private and corporate donors has poured in over the years.
