Letter to the Editor: Walk for Alzheimers
After getting my two shots and booster I thought it would be great to go door to door without anyone asking such questions as “should I disinfect the door knob or the bell you just touched”? You do not stop because of Covid there are people counting on you to raise money for charity. For […]
Letter to the Editor: Double agenda
Open letter to Council The willingness study outcome told us the overwhelming result was a referendum. This was not the outcome Council and NWMO wanted to hear. This was quickly overturned with a motion Dec. 14 2021 by a council who seems to follow the NWMO’s mandate. No referendum this coming October with municipal elections. […]
Letter to the Editor: Staying informed
Dear Editor, As you know, I have written a number of past articles regarding the proposed Deep Geological Repository (DGR) in South Bruce, and have publicly advocated for the current process of research and site selection. Recently, opponents of the DGR have questioned my motivation, suggesting that I’m somehow getting paid or compensated for this […]

According to The Ontario Municipal Councillor’s Guide, “The representative role of council is clearly indicated in section […]
Letters to the editor
Hospice about living best with time left I am a 76-year-old man with Stage 4 terminal cancer. I am currently in Residential Hospice of Grey Bruce’s Chapman House. When I was brought here, I assumed that everything that could be done had been done, so all I was here for was to die; that was […]
Purple Grove News
Happy New Year 2022 to all our friends and families near and far. With all the restrictions and precautions for everyone it has certainly been a different holiday season. The huge bonus was the clear roads and good weather. I for one really appreciated the ease of traveling and I know many others were thankful […]
Letter to the Editor: SBGHC service reductions
During the town hall zoom meeting a couple weeks ago when Michael Barrett was discussing the nursing shortage he focused on the fact that many nurses have been on maternity leave.

Open letter to South Bruce Council
To South Bruce Council: Dec. 30, 2022 You may recall, some time ago, a letter from the South Bruce pastors asking council to bring a quick resolve to an issue that is dividing the community, the DGR (deep geological nuclear repository). By way of petition an extraordinary one quarter of the electorate, are requesting the same […]
