Letter to Editor in Times Colonist calls for Amalgamation

There is a Letter to the Editor today in the Times Colonist calling for amalgamation. It was written by Colin Nielson, who stated his support for amalgamation icluding:

The Blue Bridge is used by people from all over the Greater Victoria region. The city, with just over 24 per cent of the region's population, could be stuck with providing 100 per cent of the local contribution to costs.

This situation will never change unless the provincial government steps in and forces amalgamation upon, at the least, the core municipalities.

...

There needs to be a people's movement to push for a merging of the region's municipalities.
