Letter to the Editor To The Editor, I am writing this letter, to send this message to the general public in the areas of Meaford and the Blue Mountains. I lost a digital camera on August 1, 2014 at approximately 8 pm., and I would desperately like to locate it. The camera, which was in a small Dark Grey/Black camera case, was...

Letter to the Editor Dear Sir, I made my first visit to the Meaford Cemetery recently. I was completely wowed with the upkeep of it everywhere. Such a beautiful surprise but as I was walking around I happened to come upon the Swans. My disappointment overwhelmed me! They are living and swimming in a swamp filled with green slimy water. The...

Letter to the Editor Editor, The Clarksburg Cat Shelter, a registered charity,serves the Clarksburg, Thornbury and Meaford areas, taking in lost, abandoned and abused adult cats. We operate a store on Boucher Street in Meaford, The Cat's Meow, that sells gently used small and larger items to raise money for the Shelter. We rely on volunteers to run our store and shelter and donations from the...

Letter to the Editor Editor, In response to the article “Meaford Knows How to Party Together, Why Can’t We Exist Together?”, I would like to offer my thoughts. Personally, I relate to the glow you felt at our Canada Day Celebrations. The Chamber of Commerce had chaired this event for the three years prior to 2014. Though the infectious spirit you...

Letter to the Editor To the Editor, I'm writing this letter, to let people know that I wrote letters last fall to, the CAO, Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and Councillors about some issues that needed to be addressed- I received no response and nothing was done about the issues mentioned. I have written to our MPP and received a response and they...

Letter to the Editor Editor, It is becoming obvious to most Canadians that the Conservative party is not a fan of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The charter compels the Supreme Court of Canada to evaluate government policy and laws in context of the Charter to determine their compliance and thus their legality. This requirement of the Charter also seems...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, Your July 4 Canada Day celebrations article digressed very quickly from celebrating Canada Day to what one can only describe as an attempt to start a controversy when there is none. You use such phrases as “rural-urban stand-off” and “divisive campaign that will be rural interest against urban interests” could hardly be further from the...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, After reading of the recent damage done at Beautiful Joe Park I went and visited to see for myself.  Fortunately for me the plaque for our family pet had miraculously escaped being destroyed.   A short time later I again went to the park and to my surprise the park looked wonderful; the garden beds were...

Letter to the Editor Editor, On June 15th a young man from Copenhagen, Denmark, arrived at our door, on foot and carrying a large back pack. He had just arrived in Canada for a three-week visit and had spent his first day on the Bruce Trail (he had just hiked 32km). Friends had dropped him off south of Walters Falls and he...

Letter to the Editor Editor, As I have done every year, I have spent some time in review of the Audited Statement for the Municipality of Meaford for 2013. Although the level of detail in audited statements for 2013 is less than in the budget, I find it is still a worthwhile exercise to study these audited statements. I offer my observations...
