Letter: Why no curling in Coquitlam?

The Editor, I was sitting in a Princeton restaurant gazing out the window and across the Hope-Princeton Highway at a building with a sign reading Princeton Curling Club.

The Editor,

I was sitting in a Princeton restaurant gazing out the window and across the Hope-Princeton Highway at a building with a sign reading Princeton Curling Club.

I was wondering why it is that a metropolis like Princeton, B.C. (population: 2,724) can afford to have its own curling building and club while I, who live in — and vote and pay taxes in — Coquitlam (population: 144,000) have been told by city council that if I want to continue curling (at age 71), I will have to join another municipality’s club because the current beautiful and quite new Coquitlam curling venue is going to be changed to something else.

Question to the next pollsters who phone: “How did your candidate vote on the 2016 Coquitlam curling issue?”

R. Miller, Coquitlam
