Letters
All newspapers encourage letters to the editor and intend to print the opinions of their readers with as few restrictions as possible. The Fort Frances Times is no exception.
Rules governing letters to the editor in the Fort Frances Times are:
All letters must be signed, and the name of the writer will be printed with all letters published.
The writer must submit his/her letter in person and satisfactory identify themselves, or submit a telephone number to be used to verify that the letter was actually written by the person whose name is included on it, delaying publication if necessary to make the verification.
Letter will not be accepted from people outside the local coverage area unless the letters are written on a topic of primarily local interest.
If a letter attacks another individual or group, the Times will allow a response in the same edition.
Letters should not exceed 300 words and may be edited for length and content.

Betty Sivonen Dear editor: Just a few words about the new dining area for residents and visitors at Rainycrest. The Legion Ladies Auxiliary Br. #29 in Fort Frances donated $10,000 for a sun room. Rainycrest bought a rocking chair, a couch, end tables, and an organ. It was a wonderful […]
Jessica Barker Dear Mr. Editor: Enough is enough. I am writing regarding the article in last week’s Times headlined “Muskie girls’ hockey team starting fresh.” I am glad that the girls’ team is starting somewhat fresh this year.

Margaret Ann Hudson Dear Mike: I recently had the occasion to browse through the minutes of the Rainycrest Auxiliary which was formed in 1953—56 years ago. They had their first-annual tea in 1953 and the profits from that were a whopping $247.42. Some of the items there were able to […]

Deb Westover-Morriseau Dear editor: More than 50 people walked in the Tom Bruyere Memorial “Walk for Dialysis” last Friday—the most ever! They walked for dialysis, they walked for themselves, they walked for a friend or a family member. But first and foremost, they walked for Tom. They talked, they joked, […]

Ken Boshcoff Dear editor: Many people have commented to me about the excessive amount of advertising the prime minister is doing telling us what a wonderful job his government is performing. People can see through the fact the PM is just trying to convince us—with our own money—that we never […]
