Vox Populi

LETTER: The Bow Valley Parkway is one of the greatest treasures in the park, and the eastern half is one that I know is a bucket list for many visiting by vehicle.

LETTER: With all this in mind, is closing 17km of the Bow Valley Parkway for five months really a travesty of justice and totally unacceptable? We think not.

LETTER: Nobody in town, as far as I know, dislikes the pedestrian zone itself, at least that’s the vibe I am getting from a lot of people I know. It’s the issues it causes when Banff Avenue is closed.

Editor: I applaud Parks Canada for closing the section of Highway 1A. I am a cyclist and do enjoy riding without the threat of cars. My friends and I feel very privileged to have this luxury.

LETTER: If a picture says a thousand words, the Outlook’s cover isn't saying much about what should be of the greatest importance in the Bow Valley.

LETTER: If you feel the same way, I urge you to attend the scheduled public hearing on July 2 and make your voice known.

LETTER: Our Canmore property purchase was timely and, if we sell, rewarding. But assuming this year’s 16.3 per cent meteoric tax spike applies to all properties, it will increase rents for all non-owners as it is passed through and reduce disposable income for everyone. Higher interest rates and payments following mortgage renewals are certain.

LETTER: A Headline in The Guardian warns, “The stakes could not be higher’: 'World is on edge of climate abyss” and continues why the world’s top climate scientists are in despair. The Guardian asked nearly 400 top scientists what they felt about the future – reportedly they are terrified.

LETTER: I encourage all voters and taxpayers to watch for the referendum in August.

LETTER: The Bow Valley Parkway, this "great asset", must continue to be maintained as a shared roadway for all to enjoy.
