Dear editor,We moved to this beautiful valley a year ago.I do not know the details of past information on the new hospital location, nor have I taken the time to research that history.However, I have read many letters and news reports on the location of a new hospital. I find it hard to believe that the Ryan Road location is considered acceptable for this purpose.I live on Memorial Drive and travel or walk in the Ryan Road/college vicinity often.As a three-term councillor in an Interior municipality, I find this decision by our local council unacceptable.Do what is right for our citizens; not what (it seems) has some kind of 'political' purpose.Thomas Witty,Courtenay
