Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, I write this letter today to say farewell to Western Wheel editor Don Patterson as he embarks on a new chapter in his life. I would like to wish him the best of luck as he heads to Toronto and Ryerson University to obtain his MBA.

Dear Editor, Re: Councils Looking to Grow Together in April 4 Western Wheel. Reading this article makes you wonder why we even vote. The politicians simply don’t listen.

Dear Editor, In response to Sheelagh Matthews’ recent article, she follows a trend in Canada to criticize the wealth disparity between the one percenters and the capitalist economy against the remaining society.

Dear Editor, As Albertans we have all been listening to the news about how the City of Calgary thinks it should make a bid for the Olympics, and that the provincial and federal governments should pay the bill.

Dear Editor, The banning of food trucks and limiting their presence to “special events” is incredibly short-sighted by the Town of Okotoks.

Dear Editor, I am extremely frustrated with the firearms charges laid against Edouard Maurice by the RCMP. Likely there are details we don’t know that may alter the public view of this case.

Dear Editor, This letter of kindness sends a huge Snow Angel Award of thanks to all residents living along Sheep River Drive and Westland Street in Okotoks for keeping your sidewalks as clear as you have! I give thanks each morning/afternoon/evening

Dear Editor, Unexpected historical information popped up last month. I learned that tennis in Okotoks dates back to 1919 with the development of the Okotoks Tennis Club. The club leased a lot from the town on Elma Street West for a tennis court.

Dear Editor, I am writing to tell a good story. There seems to be a lot of negative stories these days. On Valentine’s Day, my wife, 10-month-old daughter and I went to a restaurant in town for dinner.
