Re: “Now the westside: 20 potential sewage sites selected,” June 19.
I would like to remind the mayor and all others involved with choosing sewage treatment sites in Esquimalt that Bullen Park — correct name, Fitzherbert Bullen Memorial Park — was given to the residents of Esquimalt by the Bullen family in perpetuity.
In accepting this gift of parkland in 1924, Esquimalt council agreed “the lands conveyed were to be held forever for the purposes of a public park and pleasure ground.”
A sewage treatment site does not qualify.
