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.

Stan L. Sockolotuk Dear editor: I noticed the headline, “Proposed medical busing service disputed,” in last week’s edition of the Times.

M. Martin Dear Mr. Editor: I was appalled to read in Monday’s Daily Bulletin that Wagner Construction would be starting the sewer project in Fort Frances. They call themselves Wagner Const.

Jack and Norma Elliott To the editor: This past weekend, Rainy River once again showed why it was such a great place to live. Why? Because of the people who come out to volunteer and support their community. A great big thank you to the organizers. Meghan Shanks and her […]

Lindsey Oster Dear editor, A few weekends ago, my family and I were invited to a birthday party at McIrvine Park. The kids had tonnes of fun playing on the equipment and then we all enjoyed a BBQ lunch, complete with cake, under the new sun shelter. Everyone commented on […]
Pearl Wardman Dear editor, I have been hearing some negative, unkind remarks about Rainycrest, where I live. Granted, it takes some adjustment and when I first came here seven months ago, I was sad. Ideally, we’d all prefer to remain in our own home or apartment. Now, I can only […]
