Sewage costs up - but not by 500%
Dear Editor: A recent letter from Couns. Guy Heywood (city) and Alan Nixon (district) in your May 1 issue reinforces the importance of Metro Vancouver's need to construct a new advanced wastewater treatment facility on the North Shore, and the support required from senior levels of government to do so. The new plant is necessary to meet commitments in Metro Vancouver's Integrated Liquid Waste and Resource Management Plan as well as to meet new regulatory requirements set by the federal and provincial governments.

Leave of absence the right decision
Regarding your article "Keating to Halt Council Pay During Election," April 14, we have to say that it's about time. Coun. Keating opened his campaign office on Feb. 2 and has been very busy on Facebook, Twitter and door to door. On Feb. 23 he posted that he had knocked on more than 1,000 doors already. North Van City Voices wrote to the City of North Vancouver's mayor and council on March 18 with concerns about the Onni public hearing process. One of the comments we made in that letter was: "It has also been suggested that a councillor participating in an election campaign should take a leave of absence from his duties, because of the potential of a conflict of interest with competing loyalties between public duty and personal interests. We note that this week a councillor in Coquitlam has requested a leave of absence without pay during the campaign."
