To the Editor:

Congratulations to the Creston Valley Community Housing Society on breaking ground for a new affordable housing in Creston. The volunteers of the CVCHS have worked tirelessly to secure the resources from government and community funders to make this project a reality.

The construction of new affordable housing has an incredibly positive impact on the community. The construction creates jobs and the housing provides safe affordable homes for many years into the future.

Although the Liberal government decided to not invite me to the groundbreaking celebration, let’s not let that exclusion overshadow the great work done by our community. Many have told me that the partisanship displayed by the Liberal government disappointed them. I agree that it is disrespectful and most certainly unnecessary, and I would like to thank the volunteers of the CVCHS for warmly inviting me after hearing of the government’s deliberate exclusion. Your thoughtfulness is an indication of why you have had success in creating homes for low-income families.

Again, congratulations and thank you to the CVCHS. Your volunteer efforts are bringing tremendous benefit to the Creston Valley.
