Dear Editor,
Just because the municipal election is over doesn芒鈧劉t mean that residents can let complacency prevail.
Guess what, folks, the new council hasn芒鈧劉t even been sworn in yet and the Creekside Forest property in Aldergrove is already up for sale.
If you haven芒鈧劉t heard about this property before, it is the last standing forest that the Township owns in Aldergrove. The only other forest is privately owned.
In the Official Community Plan, a portion of it was designated for educational/recreational use. Sound familiar, Brookswood?
New council members haven芒鈧劉t even signed on the dotted line and Township land is already up for sale, without the council being sworn in. One has to ask whose agenda it is to recklessly throw away a naturally intact ecosystem for 20 housing units.
The clock is ticking, but there芒鈧劉s still time to preserve this forest land. Some of us have vision that goes beyond the mighty dollar. If you are one of those people, I urge you to stay informed.
Go to the Aldergrove Neighbours芒鈧劉 Facebook page and come to the 4 o芒鈧劉clock meeting on Monday, Dec. 1, at the Township of 91原创 council chambers.
Aldergrove芒鈧劉s trees today could be Brookswood芒鈧劉s trees tomorrow.
Dan Sloan, Brookswood
