To the Editor: RE: “Writer objects to Drag Queen story hour at Kincardine Library Mrs. Davidson's letter was spot on. While the push in our society is to be loving and inclusive, how about we apply those values to our children, first, who so often have no say in what happens...

To the Editor: RE: “OPP take over temporary responsibility for animal protection” I’m an animal lover, and that includes all animals. I have always felt the penalty for animal cruelty is far too lenient. I’m hoping this new format will help unfortunate...
To the Editor: RE: “Kincardine Residents Against Phragmites keep fighting invasive plant” This organization is doing wonderful work and should be applauded. I watch for this plant and can’t tell the difference from native to invasive. They are also doing ...
