It was a cold day but there were dog walkers and their dogs, and always a friendly "Good Morning". Why is this creek so important to people? Why not build more condos? Someone told me that the golf course is protected from future development. I hope they are correct. But why are people so adamant that the golf course should be protected and, by extension, that the river-creek not buried? All I can say is that, personally, I think we've had enough progress and development at the expense of our environment. We need to preserve some nature (not just parks) in the city for future generations, including land and a place for urban wildlife. This isn't a park, it's a golf course, and one day I hope it is allowed to revert to its natural state, let the grass grow and wild flowers thrive. Call it Parc St. Pierre and keep it undeveloped; it could be similar to Parc Angrignon.
What is covered can be uncovered and, I suspect, some future generation will see the St. Pierre River restored, above ground, in at least a few places. That is my hope.
BTW, in this area, there have already been several new condo developments, several new residences for the elderly, and both Vincelli's Garden Centre and the Village Plaza on Robert Burns are slated for being demolished and apartments or condos built on these sites. Enough is enough.
