Dear Editor:
Re: In Defence of Burnaby Greens, Opinion, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 12.
Mr. Friesen exposes Mr. Melynk for his "not credible" comments (Wait for implosion, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 3). I praise Mr. Friesen for advising the readers of the Burnaby NOW. I believe Mr. Melynk is trying to place an unfounded wedge between Greens and the Burnaby First Coalition that has no merit.
I am more focused on the comments Mr. Friesen has mentioned on the dredging of Burnaby Lake and in specific the lack of, and bungling of the process, resulting in a wasted costs to the taxpayers, in millions. If only Doreen Lawson was here as councillor to knock some sense into, as Mr. Friesen calls "our green-washed council."
I would suggest that the readers take a walk to Burnaby Lake by Piper Spit, just down from the Nature House, and see the mess for yourself. Salmon will be struggling to get into Eagle Creek this fall.
