On June 20th of this
year 2017, Citizens for a Livable Cranbrook Society was officially
dissolved. The remaining funds are being transferred to the Community
Forest Society, which was one of the reasons we organized - to protect it from
unnecessary city expansion and development.
This blog, the Cranbrook Guardian will
remain as a record of our activity during the time we existed. We will
maintain our email address for an undetermined period of time as we still do
receive email requests for information. This blog has proved to be
a useful reference with many of our photographs and articles being used by
other organizations.
We thank you, our readers for asking
us to continue this work. Our hope however, is that at the right time
there will be additional new faces who care and have time enough to examine
issues and provide alternatives to how our home town develops sustainably and
in an environmentally sensitive way.
Seeing a thriving Farmer’s Market, a
community forest that has been protected and is the envy of many
municipalities, a city tree planting program are just a few of the changes that
give us hope. There is still much work to do to protect more of our
heritage, our parks and public spaces, to recognize the value of the arts and
heritage in the economic development of the city, to provide low cost housing
and much more.
For now, it is time for those of us
who were involved in the active and forward thinking group known as Citizens
for a Livable Cranbrook to enjoy the trails.
