[Nat] ~ Thank heaven the pool initiative was defeated. There were too many unanswered questions, too many inequities, too many generalizations. And far, far too much invective.

[Nathaniel Brown] ~ Dear friends and neighbors, I am writing to you to ask you to vote “no” on the pool. This is not because I don’t want an aquatic centre in Princeton. Much to the contrary, I think it is a wonderful idea, and if a fund drive were to be organized, I would […]

[Ed Muckle] ~ What is Going On ??? Does the Mayor want a New Pool? He appoints a Committee to “Determine the FACTS”. They turn out to be a rah rah crowd with no information. No Definite location for the pool. No specific Plan of what they want to build. No Guarantee of cost of […]

A reader sends us this heads up: “This is an added tax that we will be paying for the arena as well as the wellness centre. Osoyoos had an increase of only .26 and I was wondering why our area was so much higher? This increased tax for these buildings was not brought up at […]

[Nienke Klaver] ~ In the spring of 2008, the Town of Princeton retained Bruce Carscadden Architect Inc (BCA), Professional Environmental Recreation Consultants (PERC), and their consultant team of structural, code, and costing professionals to consider the feasibility of an indoor aquatic centre. They do not recommend or advise against the pool. The same consultants did […]

There is a petition circulating asking Area H residents to support their democratic independence within the regional district. Here is what the information sheet says: A referendum for Princeton together with the diverse communities of Area H is scheduled for September 24. The process is flawed.
