Chilliwack Fly For Pie Coffee Shop Letter Writing Appeal

2/2/2017

Dear Members,

Many of you know what has been going on at the Chilliwack airport for the past year. We are not going to get into details in this email and if you need more information please ask a friend. 

As a result of the goings on at the airport the Airport Coffee Shop (Yes the one that serves up our favorite pie) may be forced to close its doors by the end of this month. The only thing that we the general aviation community can do in support is to write letters to those that can do something. This will require dozens if not hundreds of letters in support of the Coffee Shop.

If you have a moment, please consider writing a letter stating the importance of the I Fly for Pie coffee shop to the community despite what is going on at Chilliwack. You can then send your letter to the following people. 

gaetz@chilliwack.com                 Mayor Sharon Gaetz
kloot@chilliwack.com                  Councillor Chris Kloot
lum@chilliwack.com                    Councillor Jason Lum
stam@chilliwack.com                  Councillor Chuck Stam
popove@chilliwack.com              Councillor Ken Popove
attrill@chilliwack.com                  Councillor Sue Attrill
waddington@chilliwack.com        Councillor Sam Waddington
Todd.Stone.MLA@leg.bc.ca         BC Minister of Transport
john.martin.mla@leg.bc.ca          Chilliwack MLA
premier@gov.bc.ca                       BC Premier

The BC General Aviation Association made a decision at its inception to focus on the fun of flying and not get involved in politics. This is one of the few instances where the fun of flying and politics meet and we feel it necessary to provide you with the information to try and make a difference.

Just wondering if COPA is aware of this situation and can lend some support. Bevan.

They are aware. Due to the delicate legal nature of this issue any work that they have done has been quietly in the background. At this point the powers the be need to hear from "the people"

As a patron of the restaurant, I was sincerely disheartened by the news of the closure. The municipalities that sign these agreements that allow the managers of the airports to do as they please should be ashamed of themselves. In no city anywhere should an agreement be signed that gives the very people the airports serves no say. This is a crazy, shortsighted approach to managing a public asset; an asset that the people pay for in their taxes. I don't know what can be done but as it is, due to the shortsighted nature of the cities agreement with the operator and their inability to mediate a winning resolution for everyone, my patronage will no longer be expressed at this airport and the local hotels, the taxi businesses I've used and associated businesses I spent money at will pay the price. Vote with your money, support airports that are supporting their businesses.
