Letter to the Editor Editor, This graduating class started kindergarten around the time my career as a teacher was starting. I bet we had similar challenges! 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. Normally, the end of the school year is buzzing with excitement...

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. I am aware of the issues around the actual pumped storage facility, but I think the need for a new high tension transmission corridor wrapping around Meaford and heading southeast...

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...

Letter to the Editor Editor, We would like to respond to concerns raised in the letter that was published on Friday, May 15, written by Mr. Brunow regarding the pumped storage project proposed by TC Energy. In his letter, Mr. Brunow raises several points that we’ve heard over the past year from the community and we would like to take this...

Letter to the Editor To Mr. Vance, In February, I wrote to you and the community asking for time and patience as we developed information about the pumped storage project we are proposing to construct on the Meaford Tank Range. Over the past year we have heard from the community and this input has helped shape how we’ve advanced and studied...

More than ever, we are grateful for the dedication of our donors, sponsors, and volunteers. Your commitment to the Meaford Hospital has made an impact. Donations will support the purchase of new diagnostic...

Letter to the Editor Editor, The number one reason to support the proposed TransCanada Energy (TCE) pumped storage plant is that the planet is facing a climate emergency. TCE claims that the project “is one of Canada’s largest climate initiatives”, and that it will reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) by 465,000 tonnes per year. Few people have the time or the...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged families, students, seniors, farmers, and businesses in Bruce–Grey–Owen Sound. I have been hearing from many small business owners who are unsure if they will make it through this crisis. Many in rural Canada are finding it difficult to acquire federal support, which is why myself and my colleagues continue to put...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: Councillor Ross Kentner’s letter, published in the The Meaford Independent last Friday, May 1, accurately reflects our view at Save Georgian Bay: Release the Pumped Storage Proposal report now! We appreciate Councillor Kentner’s public requests, in the April 20 council meeting and now, to The Independent, seeking to allow the community adequate time to review and...

Letter to the Editor Mr. Editor, The tone of Councillor Kentner’s letter to The Independent gave me the impression that he is not in favour of the TCE stored energy proposal. (That may not have been his intention.) He seems to be in a hurry to get the pros and cons of the project from the CAO because time is running...
