LETTER: Council decision a blow to democracy

LETTER: Council decision a blow to democracy

I’m shocked and saddened by Saanich council’s decision to take away 80 per cent of existing areas for people to walk well-behaved dogs off-leash. (Their reference to 57 parks still being off-leash is very misleading. Most are tiny or close to roads, etc.)

LETTER: Saanich council ignores public’s will

That fact alone should dictate no off-leash dogs at any point in time anywhere on Cadboro Bay beach including the areas in both Saanich and Oak Bay.

LETTER: Trail system an asset for North Saanich

Sunday morning I had the good fortune to be out on a short run (there is no other kind when you’re over 70). Coming down Hillgrove near my home a group of eight on horseback were headed up the road towards me. They parted as the dog and I ran through them. I commented on how fortunate I was to be on the set of “Yellowstone”, which aroused a chuckle and I believe a “Yee-ha.”

LETTER: South Island’s political ranks continue to expand

Everyone knows that 100 is the number of years in a century, the boiling temperature of water at sea level, the number of centimetres in a metre, the number of yards in a sprint track event, and of course, the age at which you become a centenarian.
