Poet’s take on proposed lease

Dear Editor:

Coyote Cruise/Loco Landing wants 20-year lease on publicly owned Riverside Park in Penticton. If you share my concern, please write to: info@protectpentictonparks.ca. In the meantime, I offer this poem.

In a Park, in a Lease,

Come the rights to make the change.

More fixed things can then appear More green things can disappear.

Places free to roam and play Then become a place to pay.

People now can get to choose What we want or what we lose. Hannah Hyland Penticton
