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.

Dear editor: Ongoing discussion by politicians in Canada and the United States has created misunderstandings and worry of crossing the Canada/U.S. border. This confusion is detrimental to tourism and service operators on both sides of the border, but more importantly, it is unfounded. Our organization, the Easy Crossing Council (ECC), […]
Mr. Editor: I would like a small space in your paper to say how Craig Brockie’s Wellness Center helped me. Last November, I got a real bad backache. I took pain pills, as well as had four chiropractic treatments, but they all didn’t help. It got so I couldn’t sit […]
Dear editor: On July 1, 2006, my family was travelling to Helliar’s Resort in Nestor Falls on our annual family fishing trip. We, as a family, have been going to Helliar’s since 1982. I am now 33 and only missed a few years due to military service. In the last […]
Dear sir: We are writing to you on behalf of my mother. Many of you either know her or are just familiar with her home. It’s the house on the corner of Sixth Street and Cornwall Avenue with all the little dwarfs under her trees. Well, at least it used […]
Dear editor: I would like to take the time to thank Bill and Nellie Godin of Lake Despair Lodge, and the volunteers and sponsors of the 2006 “Castin’ for Cash” bass tournament, for putting on yet another fun and successful event. I’m already looking forward to next year! Thanks, Davis […]

Dear editor: The Fourth of July (Independence Day in the U.S.) was a more complete success in Biwabik, Mn. (about 90 miles south of Fort Frances) because of the participation of the Fort Frances Highlanders. What a wonderful bagpipe band. They were the hit of the parade. The diversity of […]
