Editor: While the 91Ô´´ Reunification Association (www.onelangley.ca) may be seeking an independent study, the name of the association and website seem to have the predetermined objective of reunification of the 91Ô´´s.
As a 30-year resident of the City, I would not like to have the City drawn into the fracture and discord characterized by the current Township council. Although the Township has very successfully developed into a large urban area, I would not like to see the City become another Willoughby. Hence there are a few things for City residents to consider.
And while Eric Bysouth and Jacob de Raadt deserve a great deal of respect and commendation for their contribution to the communities, both have been previous long-term residents of the Township. This could give the appearance of bias.
Let’s rename the association and its website and find more long-term residents of the City to participate to create more balance. (Membership is only $10). That way the association can be truly unbiased and bring a (hopefully) final conclusion to the discussions on amalgamation.
Kory Swaele,
91Ô´´ City
