Having been involved in the process it certainly requires an enormous amount of time, coordination and public engagement. It is true that we have fought hard for referendums when dealing with major projects. Consultation is important in any event.Citizens for a Livable Cranbrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088423170835457422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5780805355096014669.post-63424471681814624242013-10-11T21:48:21.151-06:002013-10-11T21:48:21.151-06:00Not to argue the pros or cons of the $500K budget ...Not to argue the pros or cons of the $500K budget item but has CLCS not called the alternative approval process undemocratic in the past and fought hard for referendums to ensure better public consultation?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5780805355096014669.post-1942941182646880482013-10-09T19:32:59.516-06:002013-10-09T19:32:59.516-06:00At this point in time the $500,000 you refer to, i...At this point in time the $500,000 you refer to, is is an amount suggested for an Arts Centre which hopefully would involve many arts groups but hopefully be spearheaded by The Cranbrook and District Arts Council. This amount would have to go to an Alternative Approval Process. We would like to think Cranbrook would welcome a much needed facility such as this, which would be a healthy economic generator and fulfill the needs of the many artists, aspiring artists and tourists looking for the arts and cultural facilities in Cranbrook.
