Letters to the Editor

When I was a kid I would often hear stories about some old-timer in Westfort or an old lady in the East End who had buried money in tin cans in the backyard.

To the editor: There has been a lot of recent media coverage about the state of emergency services and concern about EMS response times. As a paramedic working in the Thunder Bay District, I can tell you first-hand there is no simple solution.

To the editor: It is with great interest and pleasure that I and others read of the beautiful modern art being placed at our waterfront.

Goldcorp and 21 First Nations have come to a landmark agreement that could bring hydro electricity to Ontario’s Far North.

Tap water is getting a bad rap and it just doesn’t make sense. Here in Thunder Bay, nestled amid the pristine Boreal Forest in the heart of Superior by Nature, many local residents refuse to drink city water.

To the editor: I was saddened to hear of the passing of Katherine Dugmore.

I know I am not alone when I say there’s nothing I enjoy more than a good nap. Whether in a rocking chair on the back porch, on the shore of my favourite lake or on the couch in front of the TV, I never pass up a napping opportunity.

To the editor: The Northwestern Ontario Writers Workshop has selected its e-Writer in Residence for the spring of 2013.

To the editor:? The Local Citizens Committee of the Black Spruce Forest continues to look at ways to eliminate garbage from being deposited in the forest.
