EFry gets third reading - one city councillor opposed
Lower Sapperton residents are concerned about parking and process issues related to the Elizabeth Fry Society's controversial rezoning application, but council supports the project because of the social benefits it will offer the community as a whole.
Council unfair to city residents
At the New Westminster city council regular meeting on Oct. 15, I watched with bemusement Bill Harper and most of fellow councillor cohorts chastising Catherine Cartwright for saying "the fix is in" in regards to the Elizabeth Fry development.
E. Fry Society not trustworthy

Stop misinformation
I am dismayed that there is constant misinformation (or is it disinformation?) regarding the Elizabeth Fry expansion issue. I have read a number of times from different sources that there would be a "four storey building jutting into our neighborhood".
No secret motive in issue

Sapperton opposition is 'sad'
I find it hard to believe that the group that is opposed to the Elizabeth Fry expansion truly has "no issues" with the society (re: Silken wrapper not so nice, Letters to the Editor, The Record, June 17).
Looking forward to project
I am writing this letter in support of the proposed Elizabeth Fry rezoning of 273 and 275 Sherbrooke St. from a single detached dwelling district to a comprehensive district zone. I believe the proposed development will only serve to enhance the community in which I live.
Neighbours protest group's expansion
