Letter: About the Squamish fire hall naming change

It is preposterous to suggest that a firefighter cannot make her way to a fire hall unless it is numbered!

Alex Munro dedicated a lot of volunteer time for the benefit of the community and naming the fire hall after him was a good way to honour his memory. How can un-elected bureaucrats change something an elected council thought long and hard about?  How is this even possible?

This latest nonsense is a case of the tail wagging the dog.  

It is preposterous to suggest that a firefighter cannot make her way to a fire hall unless it is numbered!

There was a time when our local government had a sense of community.  And they could make a decision and stand by it without hiding behind the skirts of the hired help.
