Letter: Pity for anyone who doesn't applaud a new West Van child care centre

This 81-year-old letter writer from West Vancouver can’t understand why anyone would be upset by a new child care centre coming to the neighbourhood

Dear Editor:

RE: West Vancouver School District to build 116-space child care

What wonderful news! Just what is needed in West Vancouver!

As I read the article, I became even happier about this important next step in our community.

Imagine my surprise when I got near the bottom of the article and read assistant superintendent Sandra-Lynn Shortall acknowledging that not everyone might be thrilled at the idea of a new child care facility coming to the neighbourhood.

I feel sorry for anyone with such a narrow attitude. I am 81 years young, and I am delighted that this important need for our young children is being met in our community.
