A Candy Campaign, Terry Fox and Port Coquitlam

Mayor Greg Moore of Port Coquitlam remains steadfast in holding to the idea of letting Rogers put a 50 metre cell tower at the cemetery where Terry Fox rests. In fact there is a circling of the wagons by city officials. City coffers will gain $25,000 annually from Rogers, the equivalent of $1.34 for each ratepayer – or the price of a small candy bar. In an effort to persuade the city officials that this is wrongful disrespect for the dead, and for the memory of hero Terry Fox, a debt and a Canadian inheritance that cannot be calculated, I urge all concerned to help alleviate Port Coquitlam of the financial burden of caring for its dead by sending the Mayor a Candy Bar. A “Snickers” bar would be appropriate, as would a “Bounty”, a “Forever Yours” if not a “Mr. Big,” but these may be far too expensive. Any Halloween candy would do, because the city’s efforts are something of a nightmare for the friends and relatives of the 3,500 deceased, presently resting quietly, but not for long. Thank you.
