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 sir: I wish to thank publicly Pam Hawley of the Fort Frances Museum and the members of the La Verendrye Parkway committee for erecting a plaque about the mercantile firm of Watson and Lloyd and Lloyd’s Tourist Emporium. The Lloyd Boat Line began in 1940 with the “Cascadia,” making […]
To the Editor: Correct me if I am wrong, is there not a bylaw in this town that prohibits riding bikes on walkways? If that is the case, then every person that does so is breaking the law. What is the point of spending time and money to put in […]
Dear sir: On June 28, at 2 p.m. in the Royal Canadian Legion Br. 29, veterans were awarded with a 50-year continuous service medal. On presenting this medal, Branch president Lance Halstead and awards chairman, Noris Piccinato stated what an honour it was for the legion to present this medal […]
Dear sir: What I can’t understand about your city is you want more tourist to come and visit your city and spend their money at your stores. Well, the Web poll you took this past week tells me something else. As of tonight (July 2), “Not Being American” had attracted […]
Bonjour, We are students from École catholique de Fort Frances. Throughout the school year, we have accomplished a lot of things. Please allow us to share our moments with you. At the beginning of the year, we went to the Memorial Sports Centre and participated in swimming for the fall […]
Dear Editor: When is equal not equitable? Have you ever looked up the definitions of “equal” and “equitable” in the dictionary? I have and here they are: equal: regarding or affecting all objects in the same way; equitable: dealing equally AND fairly with all concerned. For the past year I […]
Dear sir: I would like to use a small space in your newspaper. I want to say thank you to all my friends who sponsored me in the recent “Relay for Life” out at Pither’s Point. Your generosity overwhelmed me. I also want to thank my family for helping me […]
To the editor: We would sincerely like to send a big thank you to the following people for helping us on July 4, when the alternator quit on our car at the Junction of Hwy. 11 & 71. Mr. Gerald Carr stopped and boosted the car battery enough to get […]
Dear editor, I’ve been watching from afar on how the home district has been handling the whole “same-sex” relationship issue now for a few weeks, and I’ve held my tongue for the most part–after all, it is proverbs that says a wise man holds his tongue, and those that […]
Dear sir: There has always been a distinct attitude—a difference between those who drive semi-trucks and smaller vehicles such as pick-up trucks, SUVs, and passenger cars. Not just in size, or mechanics, I am speaking of the opinions expressed by both sides of the argument. People who drive small vehicles […]
Dear sir: I am writing in regard to the recent “Relay for Life” walk-a-thon for cancer held at Pither’s Point. I cannot find the words to describe how I felt being a part of this. There was tears in my eyes as I walked around the track watching the luminaries […]
