Last January there was small gathering near Coquitlam City hall, rather quickly organized by Jay Peachy and the weather was not friendly; I blogged about it before in this posting (scroll down in article)
There was a loval community TV crew there, and they finally have released their video
entitled, Rivervier Concerns (sic)
Local resident, Beverly Miller has her say at the 3 minutes and six second mark
Roger Loubert, President of ArtsConnect speaks his mind at 5 minutes, 48 seconds
Nice comments by ex-MLA John Cashore starts at 13 minutes and 14 seconds
And also comments from Burke Mountain Naturalist, Elaine Golds starting at 16 minutes and 42 seconds
Enjoy
