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: 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 […]
Dear editor: In response to the “band” letter in the July 5 edition of the Times, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the music teachers at Fort Frances High School for the excellent job they’ve done over the many years in providing the students of this district […]
Dear editor, Another night to remember–July 1st fireworks in Fort Frances–2006! Wow! Thanks to many volunteers, we were privy to an outstanding display, lasting approximately twenty minutes, double last year’s duration. This year Peter Palmer from CanFire out of Sundown, Manitoba was the provider of the fireworks and organizer of […]
Dear Mr. Editor: Here’s a P.O.O.P. (Proud Of Our Parks) letter for people to think about. All too often it seems people find it easy to take pen to hand when it comes to criticizing, but where are their pens when it comes to voicing a little praise and appreciation? […]
Dear editor: An article by The Canadian Press (June 22, 2006) was carried by the Fort Frances Daily Bulletin.
