Dear editor: I have crossed the international bridge here many, many, many times over the years knowing full well how long the lines can be on a hot Saturday afternoon in the middle of summer. No matter which way you are going–north or south–you can expect a wait. I try […]
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 editor: To the Town of Fort Frances. Whoever put into place the rules for the subsidized day care spaces, I would like to thank you. Through your tireless efforts to make sure these spaces are not abused, I will not be able to take my granddaughters on a holiday […]
Dear editor: I was disappointed by the news that NDP brass in Toronto had disqualified Matt Soprovich from seeking the party’s nomination in Kenora-Rainy River, sidelining a Fort Frances resident in favour of their preferred candidate from Kenora. In doing so, they have smeared a good person and an active […]
Dear editor and friends: These last few weeks have been an exciting time for me. Since announcing my intention to seek the NDP nomination in Kenora-Rainy River, I was fortunate to get a great deal of support and encouragement right from the start. People in our region are ready for […]

Dear editor: In regard to your editorial about the resurfacing of roads in the north end of Fort Frances (York, Elizabeth, Cornwall, and Sixth Street). There is a much more pressing issue than these bad roads. This issue is the inadequate drainage plan for the development on York Avenue and […]
Dear editor: On behalf of the Friends of the Museum, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who came out on Saturday, March 3 to participate in “SnOasis 6.” The weather co-operated and allowed for a fun day of activities at the new Rainy Lake Square in […]
Dear Mike, We have a problem at the Rainy Lake Nordic Ski Club trails at Rocky Inlet. Somebody is walking on our ski trails quite regularly. This appears to be two people, one with large feet and one with smaller feet, and a dog. These people are walking down several […]
Dear editor: I am in agreement with Roy Avis, our mayor of 12 years (three consecutive terms) and a successful business owner. Roy Avis has stated, “Now is not the right time for another residential development.” I also agree with Ken Perry, a respected town councillor, that money would “be […]
Dear editor: In suggesting that the Stanley verdict has failed indigenous people, the prime minister is simply wrong. The prime minister is entitled to his feelings and opinions–even the opinion which many share–that the system has failed indigenous people. What he is not entitled to do, even indirectly, is to […]
Dear editor: As a snowplow driver, I would like to express my concerns over some drivers lack of understanding of a left-hand turn signal on a plow truck. There seems to be a misunderstanding that a left-hand signal means to pass a snowplow. This is not the case! Last Wednesday, […]
