The city of Port Coquitlam is currently undergoing a public consultation before it considers a tree policy change.

The Editor,

Re. “PoCo, have your say on trees in your city” (The Tri-City News, Aug. 11).

This letter is to everyone who is complicit in the felling of the beautiful trees to make way for the new Port Coquitlam rec centre.

Shame on you all. How dare you profess an interest in the well-being of trees after the destruction of  dozens of trees, including a beautiful 200-year-old specimen outside Terry Fox Library.

Surely modern architecture could have produced a plan to incorporate some, if not all, of these trees instead of sacrificing them for an extra sheet of ice or two.

I would like to know the name/names of the people who actually thought that this was a good idea.

Dorothea Walker,

Port Coquitlam
