Letter: Marine search and rescue team would love a New West dock

Opening vessels to the public for RiverFest would be great, this writer says — but there's nowhere to tie up.

Editor:

I am with a marine search and rescue organization.

We often come by New Westminster from Richmond and Ladner but can rarely stop as there is no available dock space.

Even during RiverFest we can't open our vessels to public as there is nowhere to tie up. This area is missing out from marine activities and could prove critical in event of an emergency.
