If you want to help make this happen please attend the public consultation on May 4th, 2016, 5-8pm @ 8683 Kerr Street (beside Romers Restaurant in the River District).elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144156972475888380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63885080081388598.post-90062609649528116282016-01-08T09:51:06.416-08:002016-01-08T09:51:06.416-08:00Thanks Stuart and I have faith in the new Parks Bo...Thanks Stuart and I have faith in the new Parks Board.

What on earth does anyone expect. Geese live in Vancouver. Women, get a grip! Geese were here first. You just took over a territory and decided it should be made free of geese. Move your monument where geese don't like to be or just keep cleaning it. Dead women won't mind the lively geese blessing the monument. The women would probably be more sympathetic to the geese than the attitude of getting rid of them.

We have the bylaws in place however enforcement is sadly lacking. Our parks and playing fields have been taken over by irresponsible dog owners who let their dogs off leash wherever they feel like it. Many times I have asked owners to leash their dogs and have been met with aggression and resistance every time but once. Please work to find a solution for enforcement so that my family and every other Vancouverite can feel safe in our parks and on our streets once again.Concerned Citizennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63885080081388598.post-56772811570986987692014-08-03T15:26:44.886-07:002014-08-03T15:26:44.886-07:00Thank you for your compassionate stance to free th...Thank you for your compassionate stance to free the cetaceans.
