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 am writing this letter to the editor to express how impressed I have been with the “Homework Helpers” program at the Fort Frances Public Library, which has been sponsored by the Royal Bank. My son has been enrolled in this program for about seven months and his […]
Dear editor: We were very disappointed to pull up to the recycling depot [in Alberton] and find a barrier obstructing the entrance. We did hear a rumour a while back that it was closed but were hoping it was not true. When we moved to Alberton five years ago, we […]
Dear sir: Hi, do enjoy checking your Web site every day. As a former resident, it is fun to see what is happening in the hometown. Your new format is fine, but I am curious about a couple of items. For some reason, you have dropped the section relating to […]
Dear editor: Fort Frances is a great place. We were dining at the Rendez-Vous last weekend and were treated to a performance by a family of otters cavorting, sliding, and having a great old time near the docks while a great bald eagle was soaring low overhead checking out the […]
Dear sir: Please excuse me for the inane question regarding the article that appeared in the March 10 issue of the Daily Bulletin, “Police warn drugs may be tainted,” but it needs to be asked: If these drugs pose a health problem, then why do we continue to delegate the […]
