Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, The spirit of Christmas is alive and active in Okotoks. On Dec. 14, I was in Sobeys buying a few groceries. My debit card would not work because the ATB system was down. My newly renewed credit card would not work either.

Fifty years ago, Grant Notley was a strong voice in opposition to the Alberta government policy of low royalties on our resources.

Dear Editor, I read the Western Wheel’s article on the budget and wondered why monies can’t be allocated to expanding snow removal. We often start getting snow in September and it lasts until April if not later.

Re: snow clearing on the pathway Early the other morning I had to deliver my car down to the tire changers to get it set up for winter.

Dear Editor, The idea of local transit once again being discussed by town administration and council has me upset. There was already one attempt at local transit (the subsidized GO program) that failed miserably.

Dear Editor, In response to Sheelagh Matthews’ article on Oct. 31, a climate changes hero would be one to evaluate a policy based on attainable results and transmit these conclusions to the public in a truthful manner.

On Sept. 22, 1978, former Premier Peter Lougheed officially created Kananaskis Country. We are now celebrating 40 years of his vision to create Kananaskis Country.

Dear Editor, While we support the idea of a tiny home project and are well aware that Okotoks is very much in need of more affordable housing, we feel putting it in Kinsmen Park is a very poor choice.

Dear Editor, Kudos to the Town of Okotoks for recognizing the opportunity that the Tiny Home Eco Village presented to them to identify town-owned land that is underutilized.

For the last two weeks I’ve been in a dilemma trying to understand why the powers that be at town hall would consider a tiny village in Kinsmen Park.
