RESIDENTS FEEL STABBED IN THE BACK

To the Editor,

Re: Distribution of crack kit surprising, May 31.

Help. Someone please pull the knife out of our backs.

We are decent, honest, hardworking, concerned people who along with
others have been struggling to keep our neighbourhood a safe place to
raise our families.

But we seem to be thwarted at every turn. How many front page news
articles were about a neighbourhood corner store selling crack pipes?

All the while VIHA was giving crack pipes away! Why didn't VIHA come
forward then?

We are all for harm reduction. But how about some harm reduction for
us?

Pat and Linda Shannon,
