Editor:
At the end of 2018, I very carefully clipped out all that was in the paper about the story of the year and put it away where I can look at it at the end of this year and see where our new mayor of Burnaby has succeeded.
I am so glad we had Derek Corrigan and his council in as long as they were. They are the ones that have made south Burnaby great.
We have everything here and Corrigan and his council really did everything well.
We have good parks and the water and sewers have been well looked after.
We don’t want our beautiful coastline destroyed. Corrigan also helped us get ahead financially.
Thanks for your front page of your first Burnaby NOW of the year 2019. The new mayor has a lot he has to do to get us through. Corrigan was a lawyer and had respect for First Nations people and the land. He did what he could for our beautiful B.C.
The new mayor will find he has lots to fight against.
I like what you have right at the top of your paper, “local news, local matters.”
That is when you get the truth and that is what people want.
So thanks for what you are doing. I look forward to your good local news every Thursday.
I know what is going on here in B.C. I’m an elderly lady, now 96 and I have lived in south Burnaby since 1929.
It’s a wonderful place to live and the rest of Canada is thinking it is too.
We don’t want to be invaded by the federal Liberals back east or the Albertans with pipelines.
So keep on keeping on Burnaby NOW. You are doing a great job.
We have a lot of wealth here. I pray daily for you people and also our Burnaby council that they will help keep our new mayor on track.
Patricia Coe, Burnaby
