Dear Editor,

While I consider Trinity Western University a welcome part of our community, it is in fact a private institution and business - not in any way a public facility.

I am astounded that Langley Township would make such a magnitude of commitment to this private enterprise/institution in the first place, and to press ahead in light of previous regional commitments, as well as basic planning common sense, is without clear explanation or defense.

I am therefore very opposed to the current plan for the "University District" as proposed in the rural plan amendment for a university district.

I would also like to add my voice to those opposed to the Wall property being excluded from previous regional planning commitments. I am also very opposed to allowing the removal of that property from the ALR on any basis, including what I consider to be a dubious commitment to "down stream" benefit to agriculture.

Frank Cox, Fort Langley
