Dear Editor:
Another year gone and property taxes paid, with little to show on the Bowen Island Municipality balance sheet as accumulated assets over the past decade and a half since Incorporation. Now we are faced with two important Public Hearings in July: one to discuss Economic Development as it relates to Official Community Plan Amendments and the second to respond to a report prepared by Council, our Contract Planner, Judy McLeod, and various standing Committees of Council that, if adopted, will sell off a large portion of Lot 2 of the Community Lands between Senior’s Lane and the playing field, and push the ratepayers into paying more taxes for the outcome.
I would urge all residents to read the reports on the Community Lands, titled Community Lands Rezoning (Lot 2) on the municipality’s web page and also attend the Public Hearings to have your voice heard.
Yours truly,
Bill Granger
