Yup, they did it. All future council meetings will commence at 5:30 p.m. EVERY MONDAY UNTIL FURTHER PROCLAMATION! The council has many developments and decisions to make so they need the extra meetings that are public not closed meetings. It is important that everyone starts to pay attention to what is happening.

The last OCP Amendment got passed tonight. Sproule spoke out against it. The others said nothing just wave their hands in support.

Lot 9 with 600 dwellings, road through the BMX Track, lots as small as 2800 square feet received first reading. All 300 multi-family units can have a flex suite and are preferred if made from wood, stone, and corrugated metal.

My questions is how can councillors decide to vote one way or the other without ever publically expressing their viewpoint.? Letting us know how they came to their position.

Smart Growth BC states that a fundamental tenet of smart growth is the people. To talk to the people BEFORE drawing up the plan. As far as I can see past the 12 storey hotel/casino with its 82 ft. blinking light and the 600 units lighting up the sky, Trilogy's plan is dumb growth.

As I understand it, citizens wishing to make written submissions to council must have them received by village administration no later than NOON THURSDAY, prior to the following Monday meeting.
