Heroes and Angels

Another war! I just wrote here last month about good news and bad news and my “mission” with this multicultural community newspaper to focus on the good news, because people are sick and tired of all the bad news reported by mainstream media and want to know about the good things happening in our communities Mill Woods and The Meadows. This month, we have news about the “Mill Woods Community Heroes” who are recognized by Covenant Health with portraits displayed at the new Community Health Centre in the Lakewood neighborhood. And we have the “Mill Woods Angels” on the front page of our March 15 issue, kids playing baseball and getting ready for the season. I still think that Mill Woods and The Meadows need drop-in centres for youth to keep them out of trouble. Older people have the Mill Woods Seniors and Multicultural Centre, but younger people have no such place, so many of them hang around the food court at Mill Woods Town Centre after school or other public places, but it would be better and safer for them to have a drop-in centre with free programs and age-appropriate activities. So, Mr. Mayor and City Councillors, don’t you think that it is high time to work on this?
