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.
Joel Haugland Dear editor: The new food and beverage policy for Ontario schools is a step in the right direction to promote healthier citizens, but there’s a lot more to do than to prepare a policy. Parents and care-givers of children must know what to do to start enforcing the […]

Anne Saltel Dear editor: A municipal election represents the purist form of democracy. One person placing him(her)self in the race for mayor or council. There is no affiliation with a political party or a platform to follow (sometimes I think there should be guidelines as to what issues one can […]
Laura Singleton Dear editor: Last week, I sent a letter to the Riverside board of directors pointing out that the corporation has fallen short of providing adequate support for the Rainy River Health Centre in this period of manpower shortage. Although Riverside is responsible for our hospital, the corporation has […]
Craig Brockie Dear editor: I wanted to give your readers a quick update about the investment markets. It’s been an exciting few months and most people presently are concerned and confused when instead they could be seizing a tremendous opportunity. Last November, I urged your readers to dump their mutual […]
Daniel Young Dear editor: Growing up in Canada, we hear so many negative stories about people’s experiences within the health-care system. However, I wanted to take the time to express my gratitude and respect toward the staff of La Verendrye Hospital in Fort Frances. In particular, Dr. Jenks, Dr. Moorhouse, […]
Anthony Leek Dear editor: I want to thank all the individuals who participated in the 2011 Ontario general election. Whether you were a voter, supporter, or volunteer, you all took part in the democratic process. I also want to congratulate and thank the candidates from all the parties for putting […]
Margaret Ann Hudson Dear Mike, This is just a note to thank so many people who again helped to make our annual Rainycrest tea a great success! Thank you to generous local merchants who donated special prizes, the churches and organizations who helped provide sandwiches and dainties, the dietary staff […]
Micheal and Chantel Gallagher Dear editor: My husband and I recently were married in the community and had photos ordered online through the Walmart photo lab. I ordered one set of prints and received them two days later. To our surprise, we found out several days later that the identical […]
Michael J. Baranowski Dear editor: The winners of the 2011 Rainy River Walleye Tournament, for the fourth time, were Jason and Oliver Gibbins, who said afterwards that the bite was really tough on both days of fishing. In fact, the fishing was so bad the pair said, “We got bored […]
