The Editor,
Re. “City boundaries not a new Tri-City issue” and “Amalgamate services but not governments” (The Tri-City News, July 28).
Having lived in the Tri-Cities for more than 30 years, the “chatter” about amalgamation of the cities has always hovered in the background and inevitably comes up as a topic of discussion amongst friends during social gatherings.
As citizens of the Tri-Cities it is time to address this issue. If left to their own initiatives, we know that mayors and council members will not pursue this on their own without a groundswell of communication calling for action.
Whether you are in favour or against amalgamation, mayors and council members need your feedback before any action will be taken. At the very least, we should demand a referendum during the next municipal election in October 2018.
