Vox Populi

LETTER: Be bold and give the wildlife, vegetation and landscapes a breather from more, more, more.

LETTER: I’d like to throw out some brickbats and bouquets following Saturday’s highway cleanup on the Trans-Canada Highway.

LETTER: I take this opportunity to express my disappointment with the proposed project of four- and six-storey buildings at 100 Palliser Lane.

LETTER: In my opinion – while I can still express it – is that their attempt to ruin the foundations of our democracy by directly interfering in local governments by over-ruling the will of the citizens is a disgusting disgrace and should be met with strong opposition by all.

LETTER: Why isn’t there community consultation on the need and placement of playgrounds in Canmore?

LETTER: By normalizing new behaviours, we can not only make where we live more beautiful, but do something satisfying that in a small but meaningful way makes where we live more resilient to a changing climate.

LETTER: Come back with a sensible redevelopment plan and charge for parking like everywhere else in the world. Developers are in the business of making money, not giving away freebies.

LETTER: Now, as a result of this deliberate approach, Banffites are forced to confront an ugly and damaging plan to increase residential density.

LETTER: Requiring those who have the means to purchase a second home, probably because of unearned privilege and luck, to pay their fair share, is the definition of equity.

LETTER: I just want to give a big shout-out and thanks to all of the Nordic groomers at the Canmore Nordic Centre, Mount Shark and in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park.
