Roses and Rotten Tomatoes (April 29, 2021)

Our weekly collection of compliments and complaints sent in by readers

• Bunches of roses to the pediatric ward at Surrey Memorial Hospital. On Easter Sunday, our three-year-old granddaughter slipped on our stairs in our house, split her chin and had to make her first visit to the emergency department. The doctor and nurses were amazing with her. Thank you to all the nurses and doctors who looked after our little chicklet during a very scary time for her. She walked out with a purple popsicle and was a very happy little girl. Just knowing she will not have a fear of ever going to emergency is a blessed thought. Thank you all again for all you do!

• Roses to the management at Guildford Town Centre for placing tables with benches just outside of the food court entrance so customers would have somewhere to enjoy their takeout food.

• Rotten tomatoes to the cellphone zombies who lazily shortcut across my lawn to save 20 steps after walking five blocks to the store and back for cigarettes.

• Roses to the people of Surrey and Delta who are using the Return-It Express depots to donate 100 per cent of bottle refunds direct to the Surrey Food Bank when you use their phone number account 604-581-5443 at the Return-It Express kiosks. Please keep your donations growing! Thank you.

• Rotten tomatoes to the Safe Surrey Coalition councillors who voted to spend $13 million on an unwanted road at the south end of Bear Creek Park at the same time as borrowing $150.6 million for three major community projects.

• During this pandemic, we have been blessed to have such beautiful paths to walk and enjoy our parks. Rotten tomatoes to the irresponsible few who just must dump their garbage in our parks or on city streets because they are too lazy to pick up the phone to request a pick up or drive to the recycling. Enough of this!

• Roses to the Fraser Heights Montessori staff for caring for our children, being patient with them and us parents, for cultivating a rich learning environment, and for following the B.C. government’s regulations and recommendations. Keep up the good work and a very special thank you to Ms. A!
