Letters To The Editor

"The Town of Hinton faces increasing financial demands from non-profits, civic agencies and other groups seeking money for services that surely should often be funded by other levels of government, or even private charities."

"Did the Federal Government and local authorities in Jasper fail to apply established forest management techniques diligently in the past to keep the town’s inhabitants and their property safe?"

"Due to the changes in the boundaries of the federal Yellowhead riding, this means that if Gerald Soroka gets elected again, he won't even be living in the riding he's supposed to represent."

"It’s important to recognize that accidents can occur in the blink of an eye, with lifelong consequences."

"Yet another controversy has arisen over modifications to the Hinton golf course. This time it’s whether the existing proposal for a hotel on the golf course benefits the course, the Town of Hinton (TOH), both or neither."

"When we are discussing options for the Hinton Recreation Centre we really need to focus on our financial situation."

"No one on either council was suggesting that the Town doesn’t need a golf course, or even that locals shouldn’t have some sort of preferential access to it. But we thought selling some of the land was the best way to protect both."

"Let’s get back to an informed and healthy debate which includes different perspectives."
