BCLocalNews.com - Community coalition sends open letter to city, school board
From the New Westminster News Leader, December 1, 2009
EXCERPT:
We understand that meetings between the city and school district staffers have been taking place over the past few weeks. We look forward to hearing a full report at the information session on any developments that have arisen from these meetings. Further, we respectfully suggest formal recognition and inclusion of this coalition in future discussions related to this site.
Collaborative planning of this nature is not only desirable, but in 2009 we feel it is crucial to responsible planning and balancing all the interests of the multiple users of this dynamic part of Royal City heritage and daily life.
We deeply believe that the decisions surrounding this site are far too important to take place behind closed doors. We urge you to throw open those doors and consult with the multiple community stakeholders dependent upon the site who also work in service of our youth.
We believe that real, informed public consultation will lead to a more diligent and responsible decision-making process. Besides, we know that in the absence of real information, further delays and costly assumptions will fill its place.
