Reader Offers Food For Thought Regarding Proposed Pumped Storage Facility

Letter to the Editor Editor, In a recent letter to the Editor, John Mikkelson of TCE affirmed his company’s commitment to listen to valid concerns regarding his company’s proposal and accurately communicate with Meaford citizens.

Reader Thankful to Good Samaritans

Letter to the Editor Editor, The Mitchell family would like to say “Thank You” to the good Samaritans who came to the rescue of my wife who, in exiting our car in a local restaurant parking lot, had slipped and fallen to that icy surface.

Response to Letter From TC Energy

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I would like to comment on the letter by John Mikkelsen and his response published Friday, February 14, 2020.

I could...

A poor sister to Thornbury, full of empty storefronts, historic buildings being...

Reader Has Concerns About Georgian Bay, But Not Necessarily Proposed Pumped Storage Facility

Letter to the Editor The Editor: The pumped storage facility planned for the tank range certainly has been raising awareness of the beautiful environment we have in this community and this country as a whole. My hat is off to the folks bringing their concerns to the attention of the authorities, municipal, provincial and federal. 'Save Georgian Bay' as a group is rightly...

Concern About Pipelines

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I am very concerned about the Coastal Gas Link Pipeline in northern British Columbia. All five clans of the Wet'suwet'en have unanimously rejected this pipeline and are peacefully defending their unceded land. The RCMP broke down their barricades last year and on Friday, February 7 arrested land defenders at the barricade. Coastal Gas Link is a...
