Dear Editor: There are two dates in Teeswater (South Bruce) that many residents will  remember.. 

Dear Editor: While most rural weeklies haven’t reported on it yet, Ontario has just taken a major step toward eliminating locally elected school trustees and replacing them with a single, centralized “Student and Family Support Office” in every school board.

Dear Editor: Imagine someone you love deeply, a spouse, a parent, a best friend, or a favourite aunt or uncle, facing the last few days or weeks of life...

Dear Editor, Back when the Walkerton tragedy made headlines worldwide, the moral was simple enough for a grade-school science fair: don’t let people who know nothing about water run the show.
