It didn’t take but a few short hours to flush our MP Mark Strahl out to attend himself to the human tragedy playing out in the alleys and parks of our fair city of Chilliwack because of the scourge of drug consumption here.

Clint Hames’ opinion piece “ Time to demand more from political candidates ,” really hit home with me. I think we should demand that the B.C. government finance our new infrastructure projects using money borrowed from the Bank of Canada.

I note in your April 12 edition that in the listings of the “all candidates meetings” only two are available to people who work days and even the two in the evening are on a weeknight which excludes those who, like my daughter and son-in-law work too early to be able to attend.

Public has right to comment and critique safe injection sites

To the police officer who stopped my granddaughter in the road on Saturday, April 8 close to Walmart.

It is unfortunate that some irresponsible people have necessitated the government to ban recreational shooting in the bush close to roads.

Thank you, Chilliwack for your continued support of our rummage sale held twice a year at Cooks Church.

In the wake of recent tallies of drug users in Chilliwack and the surprise discovery of a carload of opiates found during a lucky traffic stop by RCMP, we still do not have an application registered for an injection site for Chilliwack.

I attended the most wonderful event on Saturday night. The Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra and Chorus performed Mozart’s Requiem. I think I am very hard to please, but from the opening phrase to the final dying notes, I was transported as I listened fearlessly to every sound.

The environment we live in is the greatest asset we have, on an economical level, as part of our heritage, and as the key to our wellbeing and to a sustainable healthy future for generations to come.
