Letters to the Editor

Dear editor: Lindsay Seewalt is right to be skeptical about Cochrane’s pretensions to be a sustainable community, as stated in her April 10 opinion column. One specific example I’d like to raise is the ability of the town to allow the new Centre Ave.

Dear editor: I was glad to see the Cochrane Eagle take an interest and publish the financing sources of election campaigns. This was a topic I spoke about at a forum during the election campaign last fall 2013.

Dear editor: I don’t normally write letters to the local paper, in fact I never have before, but I feel compelled to comment on the brouhaha regarding the mayor and councillor’s expenses and the letters from certain losers from the last civic electio

Dear editor: Are some former/unsuccessful council candidates sore losers or just nitpickers? I agree that all our elected representatives should be accountable for the taxpayer funds they spend on our behalf.

Dear editor: I am a Cochrane resident, homeowner and new parent, and I recently learned that two of my coworkers lost family members in two separate house fires in Calgary, coincidentally in the same week.

Dear editor: I want to express a big giant thank you to the staff from Cochrane Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) and other local businesses who threw a party for us volunteers at the Cochrane Movie House April 5.

Dear editor: It is nice to see a new standard of transparency for our elected officials in Cochrane.

Dear editor: The amazing C3 Event is happening March 21 from 2-9 p.m. at the Spray Lake Sawmills Family Sports Centre. C3 stands for ‘Compete, Connect, Communicate – Together We Make A Difference.

Dear editor: A few months ago, I had some very dear friends of mine lose their 12-year-old daughter to childhood leukemia totally unexpectedly. It crushed their hearts and those around them…myself being one of them.

Dear editor: From one grieving mom to another: I understand there have been rumblings about your son’s roadside memorial.
