Opinion

EDITOR, Without prejudice, from one of these guys in Squamish: I am writing this letter in response to the article in the recent Chief article regarding the future of Garibaldi Springs ("Developer to cut golf course access," Nov. 11).

EDITOR, I am deeply concerned with Stephen Harper and the Conservative government's attempt to pass Bill C-10, more commonly known as the Crime Bill.

EDITOR, I am writing this letter to The Chief, DOS Parks and Rec and to Mayor Gardner.

Driving into work on Tuesday (Nov. 22), I glanced to the side of the highway and was pleased to see some of the lush greenery for which Squamish is so renowned. Gone were the signs, the promises and the platforms.

EDITOR,I'd like to take this opportunity as a local business owner and passionate Squamish resident of 10 years to endorse Auli Parviainen for mayor.

EDITOR, I am writing in response to "Sign complaint" (Letters, Chief, Nov. 11). The signs in question are my "Squamish hearts Phil" signs.

EDITOR, This is the first time in a long while I've taken intense interest in city council and the mayor. I have compiled my "dream team" for the people to occupy those positions. Mayor: Rob Kirkham.

EDITOR, Squamish has transitioned into a bedroom community, which presents a very big challenge. Proper vision and a clear local action are needed to turn this challenge into opportunity.
