Dear sir: This is in response to the RRWT letter in last week’s paper. The only letter we received were the informational letters addressed to Dale LaBelle or myself, Jody Shypit. They were sent to the team captains and not all anglers received the letter. LaBelle’s Birch Point Camp did […]
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: In response to the Wednesday, Jan. 29 article in the Fort Frances Times entitled, “Mayor sees great potential in district.” I, like other union members, take exception to the portion of the statement that Mayor Glenn Witherspoon is a big booster to Northwestern Ontario. If Glenn were, he […]
Dear sir: I am writing this letter in response to the article in the Fort Frances Times last Wednesday (Feb. 5) entitled, “Woman helping ease the trauma.” I used to stand in front of my mirror and on a bad hair day wish I was bald. However, when my hair […]
Dear sir: This is an invitation to all parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, and friends of this year’s graduating class of Fort Frances High School. Please help us plan the celebration these graduates deserve. The “chem-free” grad is a longstanding tradition at FFHS, where the graduating class celebrates one last […]
Dear sir: By means of this letter, our intent is not to publicly slander anyone. Congratulations to Brent Anderson and the RRWT committee on your hard work and dedication to making your tournament the success that it is. Unfortunately, some are quick to judge and criticize committee decisions when there […]
Dear sir: The Rainy River Walleye Tournament (RRWT) feels it is necessary to respond to the inaccuracies in Bill Godin’s letter that appeared in the Jan. 29 edition of the Fort Frances Times. First of all, it was not a quick decision. The decision to change dates has always been […]
Dear editor: It is my firm belief that Bob Nault has done an excellent job representing the interest of his constituents in Northwestern Ontario. In troubled times, the leadership of Mr. Nault and the Liberal party has positioned our country in the top economic position among the wealthiest countries in […]
Dear sir: I would like to voice my concerns of how the referees judged the Jan. 24-25 hockey games between the Thunder and Fort William First Nation Wolves in Fort Frances. I was very concerned on the Friday when I repeatedly saw violations from the Wolves’ team that where not […]

Dear sir: Last week, the secret files on the abdication of Edward VIII were released and they bring back memories of 1935. No mention has been made of the speech the King made in South Wales. Many of the coal mines were closed and the area was in bad shape […]
Dear sir: I am writing this letter in response to an article that appeared in the Fort Frances Times on Jan. 29. I cannot believe Dr. Sarsfield and his “team” from the Northwestern Health Unit would have the nerve to come out and directly point “the finger” at the residents […]
Dear sir: I am writing in regards to the Rainy River Walleye Tournament moving its date back one week. In the past, there was talk about moving the dates and it was said by committee members that they could not move do so because of the pumpkin festival. So, Dale […]
