Letters to the Editor

To the editor: Concerning the event centre, I would like someone at City Hall to tell me how they got to $114 million for the final cost.

To the editor: The city, through Brook McIllroy, is seeking public input Thursday into Phase 2 of the Waterfront Master Plan.

It’s been a year and counting since the James Street Swing Bridge was ravaged by fire. Several days later trains were rolling across the tracks. Twelve months later and vehicular traffic still must take the long way around.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the residents of the McIntyre Ward. Those who voted for me and even those who exercised their democratic right by voting for another candidate.

To the editor, Interesting how quick the news media suggests that the voters didn't want a change in this election. Looking at the numbers it would appear that more people voted for someone different than those that voted for Mr. Hobbs.

The public has spoken and once again there won’t be much change at city hall. With Shane Judge leading the charge, the anti-event centre vote failed to materialize in any great numbers.

I am writing this letter to set the record straight regarding my attendance at Bight this past Monday during the advance poll held by the SHIFT group (Thunder Bay’s Young Professionals Network) adjacent to the restaurant and bar.

To the editor: A community forum hosted by the CBC at Confederation College in early October focussed on building bridges between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.

An issue that has not been discussed very much during the current campaign for mayor is accessibility for persons with disabilities.

The current Municipal Conflict of Interest Act (MCIA) impedes citizens holding accountable elected officials.
