Letter to the Editor Editor, If Council wishes to recover even a SMALL shred of credibility with regard to our municipal Library, it will not appoint three members from Sydenham under any circumstances. Foxes tend to do quite a bit of harm in hen houses... and there was only one Trojan Horse in mythology, not three. A rapid conversion to common sense...

Letter to the Editor Editor, Interesting that a couple of your wish list items are somewhat connected by the LEFT’s absolute belief that CO2 is a pollutant. Our Provincial liberals have dedicated a decade to de-industrializing Ontario by scaring the citizens about AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming). Their twisted ideology has pushed us into an unsustainable 'sustainable' energy policy. Liberal math says that...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor and the community, Over the last year, your generous support of the Meaford Refugee Welcome Group has changed the lives of a new family in the Meaford community. This would not have been possible without you. Thank you! The Meaford Refugee Welcome Group was formed just over a year ago when a group of people was...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, At the September 22 Owen Sound and North Grey Union public Library (OSNGUPL) board meeting, a contract offer was presented to the MOM (Municipality of Meaford) library board. This offer of FULL library membership to ALL of MOMs residents, which include 4,022 MOM cardholders, for a period of two years at an annual average cost...

Letter to the Editor Dear Sir, I'm sure I speak for most of my Sydenham neighbours in wanting only good things for our fellow citizens in the Town of Meaford, including having access to high quality library services like we have been enjoying since 1994 as founding members of the Owen Sound and North Grey Union Public Library. However, you will not...

Letter to the Editor Editor, An un-elected board has set back Meaford relations with Sydenham by this library services decision. Not sure why anyone would think a village library can replace the sophistication of OSNGUPL. Sack the board and get some real problem solvers in there. What nonsense. Trevor Davies, Annan

Letter to the Editor Editor, The following letter has been sent to our members of council: Dear Mayor and Council, I am writing about your recent decision to discontinue Owen Sound Library services for residents of the former Sydenham Township. This is a devastating injury in addition to the forced amalgamation. The limited library services Meaford provides at the Sydenham Depot are no...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I was born in Leith. My mother was a teacher. Reading has been an important part of my life since I was young. I've been an active user of the "library" as I call it (now the Owen Sound and North Grey Union Public Library) since I was a youngster. I grew up in Leith and now...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, Your article regarding possible elimination of operating room services at GBHS Meaford touches on a subject of great concern. This action has not been caused by the GBHS administration in Owen Sound. Over the past few years, after the provincial government made funding formula adjustments negatively affecting all hospitals in lower density population areas, GBHS was...

Letter to the Editor Editor, This issue is about money and power and the after-effects of a botched amalgamation.Without Sydenham's tax dollars Meaford would not have a refurbished town hall or a new library building. Without amalgamation Owen Sound library would not be fighting Meaford for Sydenham tax dollars. For many years Sydenham alone was able to fund its library usage. Now...
