Letters to the Editor


Irresponsible - Yollande Prévost

The latest news proves the people hired to look after our medical buildings' system are totally irresponsible, yet are not being held accountable for their lack of judgement. It is deplorable to see all the waste in government (public) projects.

Cost-saving situation could be costly - Helen Shewchuk,

Why are we placing a heavier burden on an already overburdened hospital emergency department and on the Sudbury Regional Police? A co-location for combined men and women detox at Pinegate, (336 Pine St., Sudbury) became a reality from Jan.

'Temp' story misses point - Robert Carpentier

With regard to last Friday's story about the temporary workers at the city who lost their jobs, I'm getting a lot of calls coming in from the temps and they are mad. Only some of them don't have Grade 12.

No accountability - Frank Buchan

In the real world, a budget overrun on the scale of the hospital overrun would cost someone his or her job, and would very likely obliterate the board of directors of any major corporation.

Impressed with Pioneer Manor - Maurice Laforest

I had heard negative comments in the past about Pioneer Manor, so when my mother was accepted there last week, I felt kind of leery. After visiting my mother, let me tell you about Pioneer Manor.

Beyond call of duty - Paul McGee

In the week prior to Christmas, several officers of the Greater Sudbury Police Service, while on calls, noted two families in particular who required assistance to realize a joyous Christmas.

Reader mad about snowboarding - Marc Rioux

I am an avid snowboarder. Every year I travel to North Bay to get an early start to the season because the hill there is open and ours isn't.

Bravo Cambrian Ford - Lize Jalbert

I have always been led to believe going to the car dealer for repairs is more expensive than taking your car to a garage.

Grandfather clause - L. Antonioni

This is in response to Maggie Reynolds' Jan 3 letter concerning the new pet bylaw. It would seem that there is concern among citizens who own more than two dogs.

Poem beautiful - Laura Vettoretti

Thank you for publishing Kathy Houle's beautiful poem in the Sunday, Dec. 22 edition. It is heartwarming to know that your paper is still open to highlighting the true meaning of this holiday. Laura Vettoretti Sudbury
