City of Merritt Lacks Colour

In Merritt BC the Mayor and Council voted against allowing the high school to paint a rainbow crosswalk in celebration of diversity because it would open Pandora’s box for other “clubs”to want their own, such as the Rotary Club and the city junior hockey team. Well, if values and human rights are seen as “clubs” then I would ask the Rotary Club and the Merritt Centennial's Hockey team to step up and say yes, they’d like a painted crosswalk too, and they’d like it in rainbow colours!
