Letter: What about the District of 撸奶社区campground?

'撸奶社区has the land, but not the motivation to provide camping in a town that suffers a drastic lack of camping.'

Regarding the mayor’s comments on camping in the story “撸奶社区Housing Crunch: It is getting even harder to live in your vehicle now.”

I would argue that 撸奶社区should not be passing the buck, thinking the province will build a pile of campsites in 撸奶社区with all its geographical/space issues.

Yet, the District has a centrally located campground that they won’t operate properly.

Our town is famous as a playground (read camping) for local, regional, national and international sports enthusiasts. How is it the

District doesn’t see this?

The recreation master plan doesn’t include a campground! It says that the District doesn’t envision operating a campground yet they have the land (with services).

It appears the District won’t contract it out.

撸奶社区has the land, but not the motivation to provide camping in a town that suffers a drastic lack of camping.

Safe operation is done by providing onsite presence. Can’t they get a handle on that?  Please contract it out.

MRAS doesn't have any interest in running it. We're still focused on building our funky non-profit campground, and we're sold out every night.
