Vox Populi

LETTER: As a former Banff resident and frequent visitor since 1994, I have continued to follow with interest the Railway Lands area redevelopment plan (ARP) process, most recently council's special meeting for the public hearing on March 20.

LETTER: Actually, most whistles disappeared with the demise of steam locomotives, unless CPKC Rail was running the empress on a special trip. Nowadays, diesel-electric engines use electric horns. Same purpose, different way of doing it.

LETTER: I encourage Canmore residents to request council to reconsider its preliminary support of the program.

LETTER: It’s been almost five years since Canmore as implemented the Vanlife – also known as the Safe Park program – and we are still dealing with a shortage of (underpaid) employees in the community. How is that possible?

LETTER: I was quite surprised, shocked and then upset to read articles the Outlook posted regarding a sexual assault that may or may not be true.

LETTER: My husband and I moved to Canmore two years ago to retire here and to live closer to our son and grandchildren.

LETTER: I have skied hundreds of kilometres with my dog – on leash.

LETTER: The principal reason there are negative human-wildlife encounters in Canmore – and elsewhere for that matter – has nothing to do with what councils have decided in other matters, but is due to dog owners not obeying the rules.

LETTER: Now is not the time to reduce the number of councillors needed to provide guidance.

LETTER: I must confess I didn’t know whether to be shocked, or simply laugh out loud about Canmore council looking to prohibit election signage on public property.
