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: Once again, the Canadian Cancer Society’s appeal for funds during the month of April proved successful.

Dear sir: Emo town council recently had the privilege to participate in a trip to Ottawa, organized by the office of local MP Bob Nault. This appears to have been a first—where mayors and/or their representatives from throughout a single federal riding were invited to Canada’s capital en masse by […]
Dear sir: There have been several letters sent to this paper on the rights of individuals to smoke. I don’t think anyone would disagree that an adult should be able to make their own decision on this issue. It’s also our “right” to smoke cigars, and burn incense, but do […]
Dear Mike, I would like to give recognition to the all those involved in getting the roads open after the flooding of the past week. It was a tremendous job to get all those routes passable. I also would like to thank all of our family, friends, and neighbours for […]
To the editor: On Sunday, June 2, 2002, I travelled to Thunder Bay. As the roads were damaged by a storm, I returned home through Minnesota on June 13. I crossed the border at International Falls, one trip, yet I had to pay for two crossings at the toll gate. […]
Dear sir: If you had a fire in your home/cottage, would you know where the fire extinguisher was? Are you sure that it would be the proper type? You’re absolutely certain you know how to use it? Do you know what to look for in a monthly (yes, monthly) inspection […]
Dear sir: I am a non-smoker and have listened to many of the smoking issues. Could somebody please tell me who died and made Dr. Sarsfield God? Did I miss something? Who voted him supreme leader of the Rainy River District? I always thought that this is a democratic society, […]
Dear editor, In response to your article of June 5, 2002, “Education concerns erupt at Big Grassy.” I am a member of the Big Grassy First Nation. I am also a parent of children that have attended Pegamigaabo School. My younger two recently moved on to Rainy River High School. […]
Dear sir: I had the privilege, as part of the delegation from Perth, Ont., to attend the 11th International and 5th National Conference on Safe Communities. What a privilege this was for me! The organizers under the leadership of Doug Anderson put together an event that was top-notch and would […]
