PETERS: Pineview school announcement is great; Kamloops needs more
THE PROVINCIAL NDP GOVERNMENT missed an opportunity to score some major political points in Kamloops this week when it inexplicably announced approval for a new school in Pineview Valley via a late-afternoon news release.
The education minister could have held a big pep rally at McGowan Park Elementary, where most of the children who live in Pineview are attending.
She could have pointed out the sum total of schools built in Kamloops during 16 years of B.C. Liberal reign. That would be zero.
