Friends of Bloedel doing the work of the Park Board

Below is a news release from the Friends of the Bloedel Conservatory. I applaud them for their hard work. I do wonder though, why instead of voting to close down the Conservatory, my colleagues on the Board didn't direct staff to find a solution like this. Teaming up with VanDusen is a win-win solution. The Bloedel stays in public hands and is better managed. Well done to the Friends. Thank you!
