Did you know there is a dramatic, beautiful, lush green gorge with a waterfall in the HEART of the Whaletown Commons? The Commons are not in the ‘middle of nowhere’; we live here, the people with 200 mailboxes ( there are 250 in Manson’s and 75 in Squirrel Cove), families, elders, children. This is not nowhere, this is HOME. This public space is essential to our community; there are many parks in the south end, none here in Whaletown ( there is no public access to Carrington other than walking on private land). May public green space be shared by all , including Whaletown dwellers.
