Letters to the Editor

Former mayor running for Ontario NDP I occasionally hear Fonthill old timers, of which I am now one, lament about the growth of the town over the last decade and how they miss the “good old days.

Attempted electric sale ill-advised I was dismayed to read in the Voice that Pelham paid $67,000 in consulting fees in a failed attempt to sell its shares in Peninsula West Power Inc. [No buyer for Pelham electric shares, Nov. 10, p.3].

How to fund the friendly skies I read with some interest Councillor Wayne Olson’s recent comments about our local airport [“Value alignment—‘The Target for Tonight,’” Commentary, Oct. 27, p. 6].

Open letter to Councillor Bob Hildebrandt Reading of your stance against proof of vaccinations gave me the jitters [Vaxx proof for elected officials passes as Hildebrandt, Stewart vote against, Oct. 27, p.3].

Ontario healthcare needs treatment, STAT This article came out a day before my own emergency surgery [Publisher’s Hospital Bed, Oct. 13, p.2] . In a recent Niagara poll most people voted healthcare shortages the most important issue.

Speeding clearly a problem, yet police are AWOL Kudos to Pete Dove's letter about speeding in Pelham and disregard for stop signs [“Speeding is a town-wide issue,” Letters, Oct.13, p.5].

Recognition only first step I commend and appreciate Pelham Town Council and staff's respectful marking of September 30's Day for Truth and Reconciliation. A very good inaugural of this day.

Port Robinson speeding isn't new The speed on Port Robinson Road hasn't just become an issue, it was an issue when I lived there for ten years ["Port Robinson Road has become a speedway, Sept. 29, p.1].

After honour of service, appreciates tribute It has been such a tremendous honour to have served this wonderful community of Pelham for over two decades, with the last 11 years as your Town Clerk.

T o understand Niagara transit in Pelham we have to appreciate that two separate discussions are occurring at once: the current “On Demand” system—the black vans that we see around town—and the future Regional Transit system.
