Letters to the Editor

The recent announcement by the City of Thunder Bay that they were going to give the pedestrian overpass over Water Street “a bit of a facelift” prompted me to have a look at it over the weekend.

To the editor: I’d like to set the record straight regarding current reports surrounding the Meals on Wheels program in Thunder Bay. First, the program is not being shut down, and the City is not considering shutting it down.

So I’m on the telephone with my friend Ian Robson. He says: “Welcome to Aug-tober! Did you enjoy July-tember?” It certainly has felt like September this past month.

It has been said that a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet. For Canadians across the country this insight also applies to small dwellings in the countryside, often by a lake, where people spend their summer weekends.

To the editor: There is some euphoria (and head scratching) surrounding the citizen satisfaction survey recently presented to council.

They may not be returning home with a championship trophy, but the Thunder Bay Chill does deserve praise. The Chill were playing for the top prize in the Premier Development League Sunday in Texas.

I have trouble relating to the financial gurus and self-made millionaires who offer investment advice to average Canadians over the airwaves.

To the editor:? North Light, a new media arts collective, is doing a series of Saturday workshops at the Mary J.L.

To the editor: With the number of cyclists using the highways I cannot understand why the shoulders are not paved wider. When driving along the new portion of Highway 11/17, I noticed that the shoulders were still about one foot wide.

To the editor: I just returned home from checking out the new stretch of highway from Hodder Avenue east to Pass Lake. Wow, was I impressed.
