Letters to the Editor


Leave ward system alone - Andy McClellan

It was not possible to attend the public meetings (on ward boundary changes), I'd like to submit my sincere and complete surprise that we should be so unwisely spending public time and money to even consider such an absurd proposal.

Failing grades for attraction - Paul Ouellette

I don't know how Science North CEO Jim Marchbank measures success in the tourism industry, but in most cities success is measured by amount of nights stayed in the city by the tourists.

Time to make good on health-care promises - Marilyn Butcher

As a nurse practitioner practising in Northern Ontario I urge the McGuinty government to live up to campaign promises to hire more nurses and nurse practitioners and to ensure full-time employment for both.

Falconbridge needs to think about people - R. Landry

Three years following a bitter labor dispute, Falconbridge is at it once again. I see the frustration on the faces of the union bargaining team.

Thanks for dystonia article - Claire Centrella

Thank you for your coverage of Mary Guy and the Dystonia Support Group of Sudbury. They are some of our most committed volunteers, as evidenced by their eight-year tradition of theWalk and Wheel fundraiser. Dystonia is yet to be a household word.

Contracting in or out - Emil Dezelak

I ask members of Mine Mill Local 598 who feel they must work to make ends meet, why would they vote for strike from a good paying job and go to work for a (non union) contractor? Some how this does not make sense to me, for I have been a union member

Stepfather is #1- Robert and Cory Groulx

Richie is my friend, a really great person, and an "all-equal" stepfather. Picture a 19-year-old, giving up his parties and his friends to become part of our family. I was six, my brother was two, and my mom was 26.

Supports pesticide ban - Tom Colton

Does Sudbury really need a bylaw banning pesticides? The debate does not have to be complicated. Not if we rely on science.
