Letter to the Editor Editor, The Georgian Bay Coyotes is a 'AAA' track club that began in August 2010 with a handful of local runners. We have now exploded to almost 80 members, some who are recreational and many are highly competitive on a provincial to national scale. Our kids that we coach range from Grade 2 to high school, the majority...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, In your December 5, 2019 print edition of The Meaford Independent you asked: “What will a small downtown look like in 50 years?” Here is my dream. Before we jump to year 2070, let’s fall back and look at the evolution of our way of life over the last 50 years. The urban model is based...

Letter to the Editor The Editor: Looking back at the end of 2019, I would like to comment on one particular positive development in our town. The installation of a vehicle speed monitor in the Community Safety Zone on St. Vincent Street. There has been one in Kimberley for a couple of years now, and I believe that they provide a valuable...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, We are the owners of the property at 337 Cedar Avenue which is located at the dead end portion of Cedar Ave., which flanks the property line of the Canadian Army’s 4th Division Training Centre. In other words we are in very close proximity. Like all of our neighbours we strongly oppose this for all the...

Letter to the Editor To the Editor; I note with some interest that a new Marriott Hotel and Conference Centre is about to begin in Owen Sound. It is to be a six-story, 100-room hotel with swimming pool and conference centre, with an additional one-story commercial building for six businesses. The total area cited is 7,165 square meters, at a building permit...

Letter to the Editor Editor, By way of introduction, my name is Ric Riordon. My wife Shirley and I have recently moved from Oakville, where a similar project was proposed a few years back in the face of much public concern, and thankfully rejected. As newcomers to the community, bringing our business here and making our home here, I wanted to...

Letter to the Editor Editor, More on the TC Energy proposal… Being 'green' is not just reducing our energy consumption but also being efficient with the energy we do use. There is only one real cost of electricity. The pricing with peak rates and off-peak rates is a fabrication of government and the electrical producers to misdirect us from the fact...

Letter to the Editor Editor, The bill Bill Walker is touting is disguised as a bill to ban UNDERCOVER CRUELTY VIDEOING. This cannot happen! Without these brave souls who document the intense cruelty happening 24/7 at the Factory Farms the public would have no idea what is going on to the chickens, dairy cows, pigs, etc.GIVE THE ANIMALS A BREAK! This bill...

Letter to the Editor Editor, TC Energy’s December 12th response to my previous call for 'Sensibility' regarding CO2 abatement programs is misleading and erroneous. This project will not “turn a 100% loss into a 75% gain”. We do not have to spend $3.3 billion to salvage electrical energy sold to the U.S. A sensible solution to energy surplus in Ontario would be...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I would like to start out by saying that I am a senior and therefor may need a little help in understanding complex issues like the benefits of pumped storage of electricity. However, as I read the response to an earlier letter, I could not help but come away with more questions than answers. If the issue...
