Open Letter – COVID-19: Economic Recovery On The Precipice

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,...

Reader Disappointed with Council Pumped Storage Review

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.

This particular group is now planning to move on to new adventures, and the staff at Georgian Bay Community School wishes them all the best.

Concern About Transmission Lines if Pumped Storage Proposal Moves Forward

Letter to the Editor Editor, I was pleased to see your detailed article reporting on the local council discussion of the staff report on issues around the TCE pumped storage facility.

Reader Expresses Support For Home Care Nurses

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, Please ask your readers to remind the government that the nurses who come to your home to help deserve decent pay too. They hold lives in their hands, just like the ones in hospitals. While I nursed my dying sister, we had to call in a nurse too often. The problem was that it was after...
