Political correctness has gone too far

Dear Editor: I'm very saddened that the city has decided to change a historical tradition. (Removing the Lancers dance with May Day court). One of the reasons I fell in love with New Westminster was because of it's time-honoured traditions.

Dear Editor:

I'm very saddened that the city has decided to change a historical tradition. (Removing the Lancers dance with May Day court). One of the reasons I fell in love with New Westminster was because of it's time-honoured traditions.  To remove a part of this history, a part that my own daughter has fond memories of, seems petty and small-minded. Political correctness has gone too far.  Shame on you, city council and mayor!
