Reader: How Soon We Forget

Editor,

Is there no one around to remember Hurricane Hazel anymore? Here we are, about seventy years later, planning to build an entire apartment block on a flood plain. Although Meaford was not the hardest hit by Hazel, it was bad enough and there have been other events since with the potential to present a significant threat to life and property on that flood plain.

Surely someone is going to demonstrate some common sense and say no way. My mind boggles at the very idea, especially with climate change upon us.

David Blackburn, Meaford
