Opinion

Dear Editor: I'm one of a growing number of City of North Vancouver residents who are concerned about the current process for renewing our official community plan via the CityShaping program.

Dear Editor: Regarding your Feb. 22 story RCMP Investigate Park Tree Cutting: Like most North Vancouver residents, I read this story with some horror.

Dear Editor: Tree cutting again! Round up the usual suspects? But who were they? I have been using chainsaws for 50-some years but if I had to cut trees that size on unstable looking slopes, in broad daylight, I would exercise incredible caution.

Dear Editor: I have participated in a couple of workshops about the 1300-block Marine Drive redevelopment. Although I am impressed with the developer's approach and empathy, my concerns are addressed at the broader political level.

FAIR or not, the B.C. Teachers Federation should take a lesson in public relations from its current, nasty predicament. On Monday, the province's teachers will walk off the job in response to Victoria's latest bid to force them into a contract.

Dear Editor: Regarding the 1300-block Marine Drive redevelopment: I read the article in the North Shore News, Feb. 12, and support new development in this area for district profit and improving Ambleside.

AWRIGHT, youse cub reporters, line up, shut up, listen up, and learn good from an old bastard. Er, old master.

Dear Editor: I echo Barrie Street's good impression about staff at Lions Gate Hospital (North Shore News, Feb. 19).

Dear Editor: As a 42-year resident of West Vancouver and now retired in Ambleside, I felt it my civic duty to attend the AmblesideNow streetscape public open house on Feb. 9 at the West Vancouver Memorial Library.

Congratulations to the staff and children of those North Shore schools who are wearing pink today as part of Pink Shirt Day. In some other provinces, the last Wednesday of February is called AntiBullying Day.
