Re your article concerning the squabble between the mayor of Qualicum Beach and the new council members, it seems that seeing these articles in the local newspaper is making a silly situation look much worse.
We have a good, experienced council now and a mayor who has been in the community for many years. They all have to adapt to working with each other.
It is making a laughing stock of the town of Qualicum Beach, and is making our mayor look very foolish.
That old saying that used to be on the town trucks: “Qualicum Beach — Vancouver Island’s Best Kept Secret” is proving that QB is definitely not a secret any more. Now we really do look like a small town that’s getting smaller all the time.
Let’s all grow up and get to the business of running a town.
