Editor: When I describe Tsawwassen to non-residents, I proudly describe a friendly, safe town with a strong sense of community. We don't have the same safety concerns that many other communities in the Lower Mainland have.
Sadly that image was tarnished somewhat on the Thanksgiving weekend when my son and I discovered Sunday morning that somebody had stolen our road hockey net during the night.
It's a hockey net that was purchased with the kids' Christmas and birthday money. Needless to say, the kids were devastated.
Why would somebody take something that doesn't belong to them? Good question and one that is hard to answer, especially when asked by an eightyear old.
It's a hockey net and it can be replaced, of course, but I can say that we feel disappointed for the community right now.
Perhaps your yard has recently been populated with a used, slightly tattered, steel "Team Canada" hockey net. Perhaps you could question where it came from and possibly return it to its rightful owners.
