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. They provided additional clothing for overall warmth and head protection from the frozen ground. They called 911,...

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. Perhaps if TC Energy had not been working on this project for the past two years and having the Mayor respond with “sensitivity around the possibility of this getting out before the parties are ready”... I could...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, It has been my observation that the media frequently neglect to mention support staff in coverage of the current education labour dispute, and I would like to rectify this ongoing omission for you and your readers. The Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation represents the entire education team. Provincially, OSSTF represents members in over 150 different job...

Letter to the Editor Editor, On behalf of TC Energy and the proposed Pumped Storage Project, I’m writing in response to the editorial written by Mr. Stephen Vance that was published on January 30, 2020.

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

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...

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...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, As a former teacher from a teaching family I too am writing in support of the teachers of Ontario. All the public sees and hears is the demand for a 1 percent raise.Do they know that that dedicated and hard working teachers daily face rudeness, talking back, and sometimes even physical abuse, yet they continue to...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I am writing to voice my support for the teachers in Ontario in their quest to maintain our world-wide, recognized excellent education system. Teachers are fighting on behalf of parents and students. I am a grandparent with an autistic grandson. Our diverse classrooms need more not fewer teachers and supports to address differences so all children...
