Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, A knock at the front door of our acreage home had me running to answer it. Through the glass side panels I could see two teenagers waiting for me to respond.

Alhough I feel Amanda Christie’s frustration with living on a busy street, her letter did not acknowledge her ignorance of two incredibly important factors in deciding where to build or purchase a home.

Dear Editor, A tremendous round of applause for an outstanding effort with the 2018 Christmas Concert for the Okotoks Food Bank. We have received so many nice compliments on the two sold out shows.

Dear Editor, The residents on Cimarron Boulevard have been quietly stewing amongst themselves for years, wondering and hoping when the Town will finally realize the urgent need to ‘fix’ Cimarron Boulevard.

Dear Editor, The spirit of Christmas is alive and active in Okotoks. On Dec. 14, I was in Sobeys buying a few groceries. My debit card would not work because the ATB system was down. My newly renewed credit card would not work either.

Fifty years ago, Grant Notley was a strong voice in opposition to the Alberta government policy of low royalties on our resources.

Dear Editor, I read the Western Wheel’s article on the budget and wondered why monies can’t be allocated to expanding snow removal. We often start getting snow in September and it lasts until April if not later.

Re: snow clearing on the pathway Early the other morning I had to deliver my car down to the tire changers to get it set up for winter.

Dear Editor, The idea of local transit once again being discussed by town administration and council has me upset. There was already one attempt at local transit (the subsidized GO program) that failed miserably.

Dear Editor, In response to Sheelagh Matthews’ article on Oct. 31, a climate changes hero would be one to evaluate a policy based on attainable results and transmit these conclusions to the public in a truthful manner.
