I agree with Mr Schulmann in the sense(although he didn't articulate it) that we have far too many municipalities in the Greater Victoria region however, to suggest that " there is no community that is View Royal" is truly ignorant. Clearly the fellow hasn't spoken to anyone who lives or has lived here.<BR/>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22657184.post-62274412830793992902008-09-23T12:30:00.000-07:002008-09-23T12:30:00.000-07:00I'm new to living back in the View Royal community...I'm new to living back in the View Royal community but my family has been there 30 years. Fifteen years ago I would have agreed with your synopsis but, in the short time I've been back, I lean more towards agreeing with the first commentator. Merging with any of the other municipalities could very well decrease our sense of place and identity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22657184.post-77848694752975134812008-09-16T16:27:00.000-07:002008-09-16T16:27:00.000-07:00I live in View Royal and could not disagree more w...I live in View Royal and could not disagree more with your comment.<BR/>Many residents have a strong sense of identity and we are a tight knit community. In 2002 there were 9 candidates for 4 Council seats and 2 candidates for mayor. I think the acclamation last time was in large part because the community was very happy with the existing Council.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
