Editor:
Ideas for bolstering local merchants against the coming Tsawwassen First Nation malls should start with practical plans for keeping present customers, not with expensive schemes for getting new ones.
Some of us dread the prospect of being forced into the malls, as would happen if local shopping collapsed. Merchants and these customers should be allies.
I would like to see us meet to brainstorm this issue and offer the merchant community a list of our ideas. Anybody willing to help brainstorm should email [email protected]. I'll let them know when the meeting is set.
