To the Editor: In the past year, most people have become aware of the proposed Deep Geological Repository (DGR) for used nuclear fuel in South Bruce. It has yet to be determined if South Bruce is a viable site at all, in terms of willingness and technical soundness. What has b...
It’s been almost one year since Bruce Power hosted the first of what would become a series of Virtual Town Halls which included public health and health-care officials in Grey and Bruce counties providing the latest information on the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic to the people in...
To the Editor: The Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) was invited into three of our elementary schools in South Bruce to deliver a “Junior Geologist” presentation. I would, first and foremost, like to thank our educators and principals for always doing the very...
To the Editor: Introduction: This letter is the product of an assignment that allowed high school students to express their own voices to incidents that happened in the Kincardine community last fall. In no way was there any indoctrination evident. Students applied the philosophical wr...
To the Editor: Please accept this E-mail message as a contribution of my support for the local efforts advocating for the Drive CT scanner at the Kincardine hospital. In all my 72 years, I have never felt as compelled and empowered to speak truth to power and say that whil...
To the Editor: RE: “Time is on our side, says Teeswater resident” The answer to your question as to why those who oppose the DGR do not want to give their council and their community the opportunity to listen, learn, process, and then make an informed decision, would appea...
To the Editor: It seems, once again, the battle is heating up between those who wish to protect our waterways and those who are willing to listen. The DGR (for used nuclear fuel) has the potential to bring economic prosperity to the region of South Bruce and beyond for g...
To the Editor: I believe there are fundamental issues with the way the survey, regarding the Queen Street Promenade in downtown Kincardine, has been handled. Short-notice, issues with registration, and leading questions (e.g. lowest option for shopping downtown for one questio...
To the Editor: RE: “Kincardine hears, yet again, hospital board’s case for Edge Plus CT scanner” I would like to offer my appreciation to the South Bruce Grey Health Centre board of directors for finally agreeing to accept the invitation from Kincardine council...
To the Editor: Many residents of Kincardine work directly or indirectly at one of the largest nuclear plants in the world, Bruce Power. In the context of the two global challenges that face us, climate change and COVID-19 (Coronavirus), Kincardine is at the forefront of our solutions.&...
To the Editor: RE: “Kincardine hears, yet again, hospital board’s case for Edge Plus CT scanner” At the Kincardine council meeting (Feb. 17), we saw the same presentation again from the CEO of the South Bruce Grey Health Centre and the hospital board, with a few addi...
To the Editor: I watched one-and-a-half hours of the Kincardine council meeting Wednesday night (Feb. 17) to hear the discussion regarding the purchase of the CT scanner for the Kincardine hospital. My biggest concern from the discussion was that Michael Barrett, president and CEO o...
To the Editor: The following is an open letter to Michael Barrett, president and chief executive officer of the South Bruce Grey Health Centre. It was also sent to the health centre board of directors and to Kincardine council members. Mr. Barrett: After watching your presentatio...
To the Editor: RE: “Retired doctor recommends Edge Plus CT scanner for Kincardine hospital” I respect Dr. Donna Taylor’s position on the CT scanner issue. What struck me was her comment: “This is the first decision by the South Bruce Grey Health Centre board...
To the Editor: I have been retired from medicine almost 10 years now. To hear that Kincardine is finally getting a CT scanner is amazing news. This is the first decision by the South Bruce Grey Health Centre board of directors in 21 years, to bring a new service to Kincardine. This ...
To the Editor: I don’t see why the South Bruce Grey Health Centre board of directors is so adamant about buying the Edge Plus CT scanner for Kincardine hospital. With the same Drive CT scanner as Walkerton hospital (also part of the South Bruce Grey Health Centre), wouldn&rsqu...
To the Editor: Kincardine is getting a brand-new CT scanner. This is excellent news for the community, but news that has led to some difference of opinion, all the same. In particular, I know concerns have been raised about the type of scanner selected by the South B...
To the Editor: I fully agree that it is very short-sighted to purchase the Edge Plus CT scanner for the Kincardine hospital. We have zero experience with this machine, no training program, and no maintenance program! Moreover, we should buy the same as Walkerton hospital; albeit,...
To the Editor: RE: "Doctors, readers respond, regarding choice of CT scanner at Kincardine hospital" My utmost respect goes out to our long-term physicians and our new physicians for voicing their concerns over the choice of CT scanner for the Kincardine hospital. Unfortu...
