Email dated March 17, 2020 from S. Melanson, Re: Proposed Eagles Nest Development
The writer argues that a pickleball survey should be dismissed as it does not accurately reflect community support for the development.

Dear Mayor Screech and Councillors:
I see the letter from the Pickleball President Trish Mann along with the signatures from their electronic survey in the agenda for tonight’s Council Meeting. I am unable to attend because of self isolation after travelling but am absolutely disgusted that this survey is getting any play at Council given the way it was gathered across the CRD. There was NO information regarding the Eagle’s Nest Development on the website or on the petition itself but states the signator is in agreement with the Development of which they have no information. Therefore this is not a valid or accurate survey and should be discarded. I believe if most, if not all of these signators (who have nothing to do with Invictus), were contacted to see if they understood anything about the Development they would be uninformed on that matter. Therefore, I admonish Mayor and Council to dismiss this survey as an indicator of community support for the Eagle’s Nest Development. It has nothing to do with the Development and only shows a desire for Pickleball within the CRD and with that not even a significant number of View Royal people interested in Pickleball.
Respectfully,
Sue Melanson
