My letter to the editor should have included a copy of the master plan I referred to and which was supplied by the Department of Parks and Recreation. I went to a great deal of trouble to ensure that it was attached to my letter so that everyone could see it.
Also, My letter was not printed in its entirety.
Jean, there was a change in newsletter editors and unfortunately some items were misplaced, including my article about the Branch Public Baths that was supposed to be published in the July issue. The August issue was already packed with articles and letters but they are restricting the issue size due to publishing costs. I am not saying your info was deliberately omitted but could have been lost in the shuffle? Contact them at newsletter@churchhill.org
