Convert Jericho
The Province
Published: Thursday, June 04, 2009
The Canadian Forces base land at Jericho would be an ideal location for a Metro Vancouver pretrial centre.
The area is already mapped out as a restricted access and security facilities are in place for military purposes. It's about time we in west Point Grey had the benefit of job creation and grants that come along with such a facility.
NIMBY whiners can move to Delta. Most of us in west Point Grey welcome this as a win-win partnership. Our children need a visible reminder of the consequence of crime, and so do the adults who are my neighbours.
Lets go for it and make the Jericho Pretrial Centre a reality for 2012, helping fight crime by keeping criminals in jail and off our streets.
