Letter to the Editor Mr. Editor, I feel I need to comment on some of the points raised in the letter written by Lesley Lewis and Jean-loup Dalle (July 16, 2020), particularly regarding the peopleCare Campus of Care. First, let me say that I am in favour of an LTC facility, and I support Senior and Assistant Living in Meaford. I understand...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I live directly below TC Energy’s proposed pumped storage project reservoir. I’ve gone to the TC Energy information meetings, where I’ve spent a total of six hours one-on-one with TC Energy Representatives; I’ve had a five hour meeting with a TC Energy community liaison; I partook in TC Energy’s virtual Zoom information session; I’ve corresponded with independent...

Letter to the Editor Dead Editor, I feel your wording could have been more clear in your recent editorial. I think you would find that very few OPPOSE the overall PeopleCare Cook Street project. Most neighbours to the project have NO opposition to the Phase 1 - the actual much-needed LTC home. If you look at the project plan offered at present you...

We had a bridge refurbished on Sykes St. last year. I wonder how many local people were hired to work on that project? How many locals are working on the Trowbridge...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I just want to thank you for the excellent Letters to the Editor this week, and the opportunity to hear both sides of problems in Meaford. The one point I find incontrovertible is that most of us just do not have enough knowledge to make such important decisions. However, we can find out both sides of...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I fully understand the desires on both sides of this issue. Do we invite people who will spend money in our area, or do we seek to protect our countryside, our agriculture, and our environment? However, one risk that I have not seen mentioned lies in the fact that these campers will likely bring their pets with...
