Should people in Courtenay be dismayed about living in only the 93rd-best city in Canada or glad about being rated above 87 others?

In 2007 the general administrative budget for the then-Comox Strathcona Regional District (which included the entire North Island) was about $3.6 million.

It has been several years since the ‘white knights’ from the Comox Valley Economic Development Society rescued local tourism initiatives from business people who had made the heroic assumption they knew what they were doing by virtue of the fact they actually were involved in the tourism business.

Dear editor, Along with hundreds of other Comox Valley residents, I attended the "all-candidates" forum April 13 at North Island College.

Dear editor, The recent theft in Fanny Bay of over 100 privately owned coal mine protest signs has backfired for the thieves.

Dear editor, I am a senior citizen, living in the regional district. I recycle and compost everything that I can and struggle to fill the one garbage can that I put out for pickup each month.

Dear editor, On March 21, I presented at the emergency ward with abdominal pains and shortness of breath. Albeit it took a while to be seen and examined, my experience was very positive. All personnel involved with me were professional, caring and friendly at all times.

Dear editor, I see Courtenay and District Fish and Game Protective Association (CDFGPA) officials whining from their headquarters up at Comox Lake about folks going over to the Bluffs at Comox Lake to party. Aren't you the group that sold out your old stomping grounds on the Puntledge River, creating a subdivision full of people who are now looking for places to recreate?

Dear editor, The safety shutdown of the Dayliner is as expected. Prior to establishing schedule changes from a tourist service to a commuter service, a stalling study had to be instigated.
