Dear editor, Wow! Wow! Wow! That pretty much sums up the feelings of all who saw the Fort Frances High School production of “Les Misérables” last week. What an awesome undertaking by John Dutton and Chris and Sherree Denby. What a thrill to be able to sit back and get […]
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: Back on Dec. 21, I wrote a letter to you entitled “Mill Closures: Threat or Opportunity?” The letter was a challenge to Fort Frances residents, Abitibi-Consolidated management, and union workers alike to consider a win/win outcome and work together to keep our mill in production and Fort Frances […]
Dear editor: Now that the well-deserved accolades have been appropriately distributed throughout the town and district for the recent OFSAA boys’ hockey tournament, please permit me to thank the many businesses which took the time to decorate their stores and offices in the Muskie black and gold colours. This not […]
Dear sir: I would like to commend the crew that was in charge of running the OFSAA boys’ ‘AAA/AAAA’ hockey championship website. Being a former resident of Fort Frances, I have been keeping track of the Muskies throughout the season and the playoffs. I would like to say job well […]
Dear editor: Thanks, Fort Frances, for making a remarkable difference. Thanks to your personal donation, the Heart and Stroke Foundation continues to lead the way in protecting the health of millions of Canadians at risk of heart disease and stroke by funding vital research and health promotion and education. Thank […]
Dear Mr. Editor: Every April during Daffodil Month, the Canadian Cancer Society relies on tens of thousands of volunteers to canvass their neighbourhoods to help raise money in the fight against this disease. To make this year’s door-to-door campaign a success, we’re challenging the residents of Fort Frances and district […]
Dear editor: Re: Perpetuating a lie (Letters to the Editor, March 16). The writer is trying to claim that Canada is “ruled” by the Queen. In our constitutional monarchy, the Queen represents the people of Canada. When politicians or new Canadians pledge allegiance to the Queen, they are, in effect, […]
Dear editor: I, as a resident of Fort Frances, drove down Scott Street on Tuesday and was very disgusted at the look of our main street. There is a large hockey tournament being held here (OFSAA) and our town is a disgrace. There are 19 hockey teams in town and […]
Dear Mr. Behan: Last month, Kids and Company presented the third show of this year’s lineup—“Fizzical Fizzicks.” And as promised, Greg and Kristi wowed the audience with their unique combination of science and the circus! It also was inspiring to the small group that organizes “Kids and Company” to see […]
Dear Mike: This letter actually is addressed to the snowmobiler who rushed by our house on Cornwall Avenue North on Saturday, Feb. 18 and hit our dog, Diego. Diego was badly injured and passed away on March 9. The snowmobiler did stop briefly, but was very rude and sped away. […]
Dear editor: Why is it a young person has to move from beautiful Fort Frances to pursue a career. Why can’t Fort Frances have more opportunities for the youth. We left Fort Frances five years ago to find better opportunities and it was the best move we made. My daughter, […]
Dear Mr. Editor: This “maxim” will never be obsolete: “Liars figure, but figures don’t lie.” Canadian soldiers are fighting and dying for democracy in foreign lands while they themselves and their families live in Canada, where monarchy rules. Is there anything wrong with this picture? According to the Canadian government, […]
