Readers write - Kal Park and Burnaby Mountain

Many people across the province and beyond, would be outraged to learn that there are plans to violate the aesthetics and other values of THEIR Provincial Park.

For those not on social media, you can still voice your opinion re Kal Park on new items re the environment--British Columbians are taking notice of the various ways we are losing public/natural places to private/corporate entities.

Case in point: Burnaby's struggles with Kinder Morgan have escalated, KM has won the right to explore pipeline options within a nature reserve next to SFU, and SFU itself. The greater good is at the mercy of the powerful and well-connected.

p.s. I hope the Tyee does a story re this. They have been doing an excellent job covering environmental issues of late.
