Letters: Christmas thanks (times two) from Coquitlam residents

The lights around Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam are up for the season and will be on daily until Jan. 22.

The Editor,

We visited the light display around Lafarge Lake recently and were very impressed with the show. Well done to those who put this display together.

There were many groups visiting at same time. Although the lights provided some guidance for walking, many brought their dogs, which at times got in the way. We left ours at home.

A couple of items would add to our enjoyment: coffee or hot chocolate available from vendors in the park would be enjoyable during cold evenings; and portable washrooms are needed unless signs can be posted showing which public washrooms are close at hand and open.

And Merry Christmas.

Elwin Mowry, Coquitlam

 

THANKS FOR RIDE

The Editor,

Thanks to the very nice couple who drove me home with my groceries on Dec. 2. I had called for a taxi and was told the wait would be 10 to 15 minutes. After waiting over an hour in the cold — and calling back several times and not even having the taxi company answer — this couple heard me talking to a store employee while I listened yet again to the taxi Muzak. They offered to drive me home and even carried my groceries to the door.

Merry Christmas to both of them, and thanks again.

G. Craig, Port Coquitlam
