RallyagainsthateonSunday

Editor:

We are following up on recent attacks on 2SLGBTQIA+ people and communities that have been reported upon in the paper, particularly the violent defacement of pride flags attempting to intimidate The community is outraged, saddened and hurt

Since May 17, individuals have stood on the Highway 17A overpass to counter the harmful messaging against trans and non-binary loved ones

Many local institutions have spoken out against these acts of aggression, which attempt to undermine the protections of people won under the Charter and BC Human Rights code. The community as a whole will come together to do the same.

Stand up for love

Unite against hate

All people are invited to send a message together in solidarity of 2SLGBTQIA+ people and communities this Sunday, Aug. 13 at 2 p.m. The rally at Patterson Park in Ladner (17A & Ladner Trunk Road), will be followed by a march to the pedestrian over- pass

This event is being held on the lands of the Musqueam and Tsawwassen peoples.

We are tremendously grateful for the resistance and resilience of all Indigenous Peoples from which we learn as we come together.

Expression of hate and incitement towards violence have no place in our community Join us on Aug. 13 to declare that here, love is stronger than hate

Sunflower garden brightens up my day

Editor:

This world can be a crazy place, and it’s easy to become despondent about what’s happening around us. Pay attention, though, and there is so much to brighten the world closer to home

My daily walks have shown exactly that

In one of perhaps the unlikeliest places in South Delta the entrance to the Winskill

Aquatic Centre the most incredible and charming sunflower garden is on display Thank you, city of Delta, for creating this. It is truly amazing

Why are there not overhead warning signals?

Editor:

With all the recent over height vehicles causing major damage to highway overpasses why are the approaches to these vulnerable obstacles not equipped with overhead warning signals? Surely technology today has the ability to warn approaching vehicles?

Probably a lot less expensive and dangerous compared to the present condition.

Fines will never do the job as the human ability to screw up will never cease and the constant introduction of new vehicle driver to the roads will constantly fuel new accidents
