Dear Editor,
Thank you for your coverage of the rezoning of Lot 2 and associated OCP changes, which will allow for a future community campus, townhomes, and apartments in the heart of Snug Cove. The headline, however -- “Opposition Comes Out in Force” -- is unfortunate.
The story notes that of the roughly 60 residents who came out to the Open House, “a handful” expressed discontent. The headline-scanning reader might be mistakenly left with the impression that legions of islanders oppose this rezoning.
I encourage all Bowen Islanders who want housing diversity and a community centre -- especially those with families, like me, who do not generally attend public meetings -- to formally register their support via the public comment form in the News & Notices section on bimbc.ca.
Good things come to those who speak up.
James Glave
