Dear Editor:
Your article in Thursday’s paper only adds to the growing concern I have about Richard McBride and the safety of our children.
We constantly hear that there is no question “if” an earthquake will hit the Lower Mainland but “when.” I have two children that attend Richard McBride, a school that is no different than when I attended over 35 years ago. Given what just happened in Mexico you would think that would be enough to shake things up and stop talking and get doing.
I quite understand the financial magnitude of this project but surely the safety of our children comes first.
You have literally stated in black and white should a 7.1 magnitude earthquake strike here, McBride has the potential of collapsing. This is simply throwing our children to the wolves, so take a minute and think of us parents who are literally doing this everyday and commit to a decision for their sake.
