Dear Editor
While our mayor has distinguished himself on his pipeline stance, it seems he is obfuscating on the issue of a new public art gallery space for Burnaby.
A new art gallery would be a real jewel in Burnaby’s crown. Burnaby is a large enough city to be able to support a new dedicated art gallery space for the display and curation of our current art collection and as well provide space for new acquisitions.
Although previous mayors and city councils have been bungling along on this matter for nearly 50 years, it is time for the current mayor and council to end the bungling and get down to business and approve a new art gallery for Burnaby.
It is curious that the mayor would rather stand in the path of a pipeline bulldozer than see that Burnaby has a proper art gallery space.
Darcy Olson, Burnaby
