LETTERS: Camp Cloud an eyesore for Burnaby residents

Editor: I do not understand why people are being allowed to build shacks, camp and dump broken down trailers on Shellmont Street across from the oil tanks.

Graffiti on the shelter meant for women, two-spirit people and children at Camp Cloud outside Trans Mountain's terminal on Burnaby Mountain. Residents of the camp say they woke up to find the graffiti Saturday morning (April 28).

Editor: I do not understand why people are being allowed to build shacks, camp and dump broken down trailers on Shellmont Street across from the oil tanks. I am certain that this is against the law and regardless of the mayor’s sympathies, it is his job to ensure the law is enforced in Burnaby.

The site is a disgusting eyesore. It is also an incredible fire hazard. I would like to know what responsibility is Burnaby going to take if there is a forest fire on the mountain? This is a much greater environmental risk than the completion of the pipeline.
