Dear editor: I would like to commend the town on its plans for building standard-sized ice rinks and adding smaller surfaces for non-hockey use. Recreational skaters, as well as hockey enthusiasts, will both enjoy this development. For the past 10 years, I have been involved in erecting, flooding, and maintaining […]
Dear editor: I am a hunter, fisher, and gatherer. I am aboriginal! The Creator gave my ancestors a wealth of gifts from which to make a living and the laws to govern the ways in which to exercise this sacred privilege. I exercise this honour in my daily life mindful […]

Dear sir: As a former Fort Frances resident, I am shocked and disgusted. The current mayoral election seems to have brought the standard of level-headed conversation among many Fort Frances people down ten fold. For the past week or so, the Letters to the Editor regarding the aforementioned subject have […]
Dear editor: It was with great interest that I read Mr. Leschinski’s letter to the editor on Nov. 1 entitled “Honesty, integrity”? Is Mr. Leschinski a member of council? He alludes to, infers, and suggests that Mr. Avis is responsible solely for the town experiencing its worst years financially, that […]
Most people appreciate a little recognition for their contributions, but unfortunately we all can be somewhat negligent in giving it. Others, especially the young people in our community, don’t consider what they do to be deserving of recognition. Yet, a little recognition goes a long way to reinforce the importance […]
Dear Mr. Editor: As a candidate in this municipal election, I was extremely disappointed in the cancellation of the all-candidates’ night to be held last Wednesday (Oct. 25). I wanted to place my views before the citizens of Fort Frances and offer them an opportunity to ask questions of us […]
