Letter to the Editor Mr. Editor, We have read in the last two editions of your paper about opposition to two development proposals in Meaford — the PeopleCare Campus of Care and Back Forty Glamping. Mr. MacDougall highlights in his thoughtful letter to you published in the July 9 edition, the slow erosion of Meaford’s business base, the growing number of empty...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I have read Caley Doran’s letter to the editor last week (Thursday, July 2) and have had the opportunity to reflect on the concerns he has raised and the reasons why he feels he should be opposed to the proposed pumped storage project. As is the case with many community members in the area, Caley has a...

Letter to the Editor Editor, Margaret Trudeau received $240,000 over four years. It will take me over 22 years for me to receive this money from CPP. Call it what you want, how about privilege? What will the Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction call it? William Elder, Meaford

Letter to the Editor Editor, I am starting to see a few lawn signs supporting the NO camp re: Meaford Pumped Storage proposal.

Letter to the Editor Editor, On behalf of TC Energy and the proposed Pumped Storage Project, I’m writing in response to Mr. Stephen Carr’s letter to the Editor published on June 19, 2020. Firstly, I’d like to thank Mr. Carr for his continued interest in the project, our team would be happy to review his report and discuss the findings with him....

Letter to the Editor Editor, Meaford is a tourist destination. People, and especially young families, perhaps with grandparents in tow, love to come here to enjoy our parks, splash pad, waterfront, and outdoor recreational facilities. Where else can people boast of anything close to Memorial Park, within a short walk of our downtown core and complete with a dog beach? Increasingly,...

Letter to the Editor Editor, In advance of the June 1st Councillor’s review of this project, I had shared with several councillors and the Mayor a 4-page technical/financial/environment assessment with regard to the Pumped Storage Proposal.
