Editor’s note: The following is one of the letters from the students in Whitney Keyes’ class at Don Ross Middle School.
I think that there should be a convenience store in Garibaldi Highlands because I feel that everywhere else like Brackendale and Downtown there is a place you could go to grab a Snickers bar or something.
They could put this store somewhere near the Garibaldi Highlands Elementary School, like near Thunderbird Ridge. I want this because it can be quite annoying to bike down the huge hill or walk, which is even more frustrating. My friend and I always hate climbing down the shortcut to Dollarama. Some of the shortcuts are dangerous and sketchy.
That’s why we need a convenience store in The Highlands.
