-Read This Entire Article On The ‘Other Side.’ : Blah, blah, blah.

-Does ANYONE have a bucket list; a plan; a vision for Kamloops, say, beyond resource extraction in twenty years; looking to the future through the people that arrive there from other destinations…only _hoping_ to become active participants in a City that could very well have major potential….

_If_ it could only find some adequate vision….and some peoples to carry that concrete vision for the ‘getting’ of a future, for all the residents therein and for the very future of the entire City to reach beyond a resource extraction agenda, per se over time.

Anyone?
