Open Letter
On Brentwood Land Debate

Two Aldermen Comment

It is our opinion that one paper (not the Review) has given
one-sided reporting of the proposal to create a publicly owned
combined warm water swimming beach and Senior Citizens
activity centre at Brentwood Bay, through purchase of the
Brownlee property. Therefore, we would appreciate the
opportunity of presenting the following. ;

There is a rising public opinion which says that in the long
run, waterfront property should be publicly owned so that
everyone may freely have access to the beaches and land
along the waterfront. As elected representatives of. the.
people we support and will fight for this principal.

The public spirited action of three Central Saanich citizens
in arranging the delay of the private sale of the Brownlee
property presented a golden opportunity for the Municipality
of ensuring that the public was not barred from this warm
water beach and waterfront land for perhaps many years to
come. .

In addition to gaining public ownership of waterfront land
this proposal has the additional and unique asset of the home

_ which can be used immediately to meet the present urgent
need for a Senior Citizens activity centre in Central Saanich.

We regret that. the important long range and. forward
looking aspects of the proposal have been somewhat lost
sight of. We have complete confidence that the public will in
the long run make the wise choice in their realization that the
waterfront lands should belong to all of the people for the
enjoyment of our generation and those to follow.

Yours truly,

D. J. MacLaurin,
Alderman,

K, E. Stanlake,

Central Saanich.

May I, through your. column,
thank the North Saanich council

governed by three. municipalities

Recently much of the support
for. this project has come from
Central Saanich. And if the press
‘coverage-is correct, they have
$53,000 to spend.

I dream of a stockpile of gravel
being miraculously transformed
into a skating rink and swimming
pool for the kids on the Saanich
Peninsula. -

students wish to give their sup-
