Of Two Minds At Coldstearm

To this more than casual observer I am fascinated by Councillor Kiss fighting for unbiased information and evaluation of the master water plan. On the subject of water in Greater Vernon, Councillor Kiss is held in high esteem. For the good of our future when it comes to water he would like an unbiased second opinion. Good for him and it could be good for us .And yet he votes not to request a current study on Governance in Greater Vernon.  Why you ask? Because he is content with an almost 20 year old study. Let’s just plug in the new numbers into an old template. None of the communities in Greater Vernon are the same as they were twenty years ago: and that fact is to be applauded.  Greater Vernon has experienced much residential growth and many changes over the past twenty years. Regrettably Coldstream Municipal District Council continues to advocate the status quo and glories in the provincial financial policies that make the municipal district appear to be a viable option for the future. Perhaps the province needs to take a closer look at communities who claim rural status but in the opinion of many; have over the years have become suburbs to their larger urban neighbours.
