Our local North Vancouver school board (district 44) is proposing selling a number of parcels of land adjacent to schools. One of them is a lovely wooded area next to Cleveland school. Our kids and their friends love to play in the woods next to the school, it is an amazing thing to have nature right outside the door, and it would be a travesty to see the land sold for development.

To help make sure everyone’s voice is heard, I’ve set up a blog at blog.ambleside.com. The process from initial discussion to eventual sale should provide everyone with a chance to have their voices heard. Kids deserve more than concrete and gravel areas for playgrounds.

If you ever attended Cleveland and remember playing in the woods please add your voice to those concerned about seeing this natural amenity disappear.
