Who Are We?

On July 2nd 2010 after the regular council meeting of June 28th 2010, it was reported in the Daily Townsman and confirmed from the recorded meeting, that some members of Council believe CLC members don’t want development and don’t want growth. The truth however is that members of Citizens for a Livable Cranbrook do support growth – well-planned, responsible, sustainable growth. This information is public and available for all to read. The myth that we do not support growth and development, one can only believe has been and continues to be used, to serve no other purpose than to deliberately and mischievously discredit our Society.

Members of Citizens for a Livable Cranbrook are a diverse group of people. It is unfortunate that there are people who prefer to put other people into boxes and label them for ease of association. Our members are active in many, many organizations (a partial listing is below). We are representative of the community at large. Our mandate is clearly stated in many locations including our website, blog and facebook page for all to read. We continue to fully research and report (with sources) true facts as we find them.

For those who would like to know more about our work and why we exist, we suggest talking to our members, reading this blog and our webpage http://www.livablecranbrook.org/, chatting on our facebook page and attending our meetings when they start up again in the Fall. We have a film night planned for October and a speaker in November.  We can also be found on occasion at the Cranbrook Farmers Market.
