Letters to the editor

Covenant alternatives

To the editor:

Why does  City Council seem bound and determined to break the Simpson Covenant?

The Interior Health could acquire property outside of the downtown, on a transit route where people even without a car could reach it.

There is property along Springfield east of the Fortis building even the corner of Benvoulin either of which would support a multi storey building along with it’s own parking.

There are also several areas in Rutland which would help that area by increasing business which it could certainly handle.

I thought when Interior Health acquired the Burnett family property across from Cottonwoods several years ago that their intention was to build a building which would house all their spread out entities and have them under one roof near a transit line and with it’s own parking.

All they have done there is bring in portables for office space and park mostly on the street.

City Hall needs to get off this tact of battling what our kind forefathers tried to do for our fair city and spread things out.
