First, I am so tired of always writing letter after letter to get the federal, provincial, municipal governments to listen and stop the continued destruction to our old-growth forests in Canada, B.C., and the Lower Mainland.
As a resident of B.C. for over 60 years, I see all around the destruction happening.
One point that was truly a victory was my mom, Ethel Karmel, who almost single-handedly stopped the destruction of the elongated park from 25th Avenue to Marine Drive on Cambie Street in Vancouver for elevated transit.
Those trees and shrubs have survived since planting in the early ‘30s and more have been added over the years. This is truly a remarkable commitment and a steadfast nature to fight for years and years to preserve this now, heritage landscape known as the Cambie Heritage Boulevard!
