[RE: Pitt Meadows council approves RCMP detachment at art gallery site, March 8, 2021, The News online]

If you don’t want to see our family place turned into an RCMP station with police cars, bad guys in cuffs, and even a jail, you have a final opportunity to be one of only 1,431 required votes to say no to the bylaw amendment required by the city to begin to change Harris Road Park forever.
Believe it or not, we do have a choice!
