LETTER: Day at the 'Bay' a Sunday tradition

Dear Editor: When my family emigrated from Scotland, and we settled into our new country, my mom and dad’s Sunday family ritual was to spend the day at Horseshoe Bay.

Dear Editor:

When my family emigrated from Scotland, and we settled into our new country, my mom and dad’s Sunday family ritual was to spend the day at Horseshoe Bay. My brother, sister and I would swim on the beach there, whilst my dad would go to Trolls for the fish and chips, and we would sit on the beach and devour the meal.

The Peter Black family’s love of Horseshoe Bay has been part of our lives now for over four generations and for me 66 years. (On Sept. 21) I attended a presentation of the new proposed Sewell’s Landing and as a 38-year resident of that area I was a little anxious.

There were many questions, and perhaps a few concerned guests. But when all was said and done, every question and concern was properly addressed to everyone’s satisfaction.

Our family has known the Sewell family for many years, and their love and dedication for “the Bay” is so very obvious it warms one’s heart. As I usually try and stay very neutral on projects in “my” West Vancouver, I step forward and say this is an amazing project, and I support the proposal and look forward to watching it evolve.

Peter Black
