Dear Editor,
Donna Polos urges new funding for the arts in Burnaby, claiming that we have spent “tons” on sports venues in the past.
She must either have a short memory or be a new resident of our city. In fact, the city spent “tons” of money building the beautiful Shadbolt Centre long before they spent a nickel on a turf field anywhere in Burnaby.
Until the city starts charging Burnaby youth user fees for entry into that centre, Ms. Polos, in relative terms, will have nothing to complain about.
Mark Berry, Burnaby
