Hi Ryan..
Enjoyed your discourse on Thursday and some of us were discussing your comments during Sooper Bole. Really !!! The beer maybe?
I finally am recognizing that students and young people have to get involved in their communities and the politics / governance/media etc. I don't know how to transfer a newspaper article to this forum but the Mountain News ( JAN 30)had a great guest column by a Mac student,, Maybe , Ryan , you could do that. Besides going to Mohawk, we live off Paradise on the Mountain and I have watched how a few rich folks on Scenic have tried to slow down what I think is great for the mountain,,ie utilizing the vacant Chedoke hospital lands for residential condos.
My pal in the planning course here tells me that will save over 100 acres of farm land and use the existing sewers and hydro etc.. A bunch of the students got involved in a class project last year, on this re-development to bring their ideas forward . They thought it was great because they were actually doing something that was in our immediate area and addressing sprawl. Not sure of the results.
We ( students )will and can get involved but sometimes you have to find our "ON" buttons,
Keep the spirit!
Mike
