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.

No mortgage payments made, no saving for university, no family vacations, no […]
Dear sir: Hi, this is “Rapid Robert” again. Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of static because I’ve not written one of my stories in the Times. You may remember some of my stories that I wrote about the loon and the time I rescued one that was in trouble, […]
Dear editor: Pledge sheets are now available for the Northern Therapeutic Riding Association’s annual “Freedom Ride,” which will be held Sept. 7 this year.

Dear sir: A bill now being debated before the House of Commons in Ottawa should be of serious concern to all livestock producers, hunters, anglers, trappers, and anyone who has in the past, or will in the future, benefit from modern medicine. The bill is Bill C-15B, the federal government’s […]
Dear editor: The Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) labour contract dispute is entering its seventh week today. Talks have continued since April 2, but there is still no word or end in sight. A couple of things have changed since that time. Ontario has a new premier, Ernie Eves, […]
