Dear Editor
On Sunday night (Oct. 23) on Channel 4 there was a public forum in Langley regarding the plight of the homeless. Present were federal representatives, the provincial MLA of Langley, the mayor of Langley and the RCMP.
Many positive and constructive ideas were presented to these representatives, by the public. Now tell me why in Burnaby, we too can’t have a similar public forum with all federal, provincial and municipal representatives present? It seems to me that Burnaby is just passing the problem onto other cities.
Perhaps with a similar forum in Burnaby, Mayor Corrigan might be a little more educated about the plight of these individuals. He might have a little more empathy and try to help alleviate the problem.
