Letter to the Editor Editor, During the last Datacall process to Waste Diversion Ontario, the Municipality of Meaford diverted 3,300 pounds of plastic film for recycling: just over a 1½ tons of plastic. A volunteer program of which to be very proud. At the Municipality of Meaford’s 2015 RE-Use & ECO-Fair, the Grey Bruce Sustainability Network publicized the success of the Municipality...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I am writing to say a BIG THANK YOU to all the residents, family and friends of the Municipality of Meaford who came out in support of the RE-Use & ECO Fair on Saturday April 18th, 2015. We couldn’t have done it without all of the amazing volunteers who gave up their Saturday to help...

Letter to the Editor Editor, On April 18 I spent a very pleasant three hours in the community centre packing boxes with “stuff”. All the “stuff” was destined for several local community organizations that had indicated they wanted the “stuff”. This was Meaford's second Re-Use Fair. So all the “stuff” that people wanted was joined up with a bunch of “stuff”...

Letter to the Editor Dear Meaford, On March 28, at the Chamber Community Awards Gala, the Scarecrow Invasion & Family Festival was presented with the 2014 Tourism Award, sponsored by Third Line Homes. It was a real thrill to receive such a prestigious award, for the 2nd year in a row - a real compliment to the recognition of the “visitor...

Letter to the Editor Editor, In response to Bill C-384 (Private Memberʼs Bill) to legalize euthanasia calling it “the right to die with dignity”, I morally oppose the concept of “assisted suicide”. One has to ask for what segment of our society is this Bill designed for? The elderly? The disabled? the terminally ill? All of above? In other words the most...

Letter to the Editor Editor, On behalf of the Golden Town Outreach, many thanks to all the dedicated, compassionate volunteers that are part of everything that we offer. From those who help with the food bank, to those who help with the community gardens, cooking classes and Second Harvests program, our community benefits from the work you do. I also extend...

Letter to the Editor Editor, The recent TMI editorial advising council to take rural Meaford concerns seriously made many valid points and observations. I would like to comment on these in simple point form: “Lacklustre attendance at budget public review meetings” poor weather terrible communications for rural residents who get their news from Owen Sound media night driving a big deal for retirees farmers too busy “Great...

Letter to the Editor Dear Sir, This has been a really bad winter weather-wise and it is obvious that the usually perceptive brains in MOM (Municipality of Meaford) are not fully awake. The KISS (keep it simple stupid) principle appears to be no longer used especially when discussing our local library and high school. Firstly, the library and the high school are...

Letter to the Editor Dear Mr Vance, You are wrong. Larry Miller should be applauded for his standing up for his views and the views of many Canadians. People leave their countries' to come to Canada for a variety of reasons. Yes, we have and will continue to welcome immigrants with open arms IF they are intending to be contributing citizens of our...

Letter Editor, It is time we tried to understand each other instead of being suspicious. Maybe we just see in strangers what we fear in ourselves. Immigrants bring new concepts and have since there were immigrants. My husband had to train himself to lose his accent because of the bigotry against the Scots in 1956.  There used to be an expression that...
