Dear editor: On Sunday afternoon, I went downtown to pick up some groceries in Old Town. I saw at least 25 people, both in and out of the store. Most, I am sure, were locals.
Dear editor: I’d like to give a well-done to the PC Express team at Phil’s Valu-mart in Virgil for their excellent service during these challenging times. Especially in the first weeks of “lockdown”
Dear editor: It’s very encouraging to read about how grateful and thankful people are toward our essential workers. I read about doctors, nurses, paramedics, PSWs, pharmacists, etc., and the list goes on and on.
Dear editor: When will Niagara-on-the-Lake, and in particular Old Town, reach a saturation point for tourism – or are we there now? Are we, as we continue to promote more tourism by building more
Dear editor: I just heard that one of the stores on Queen Street was fined by the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake for having people standing too close in a lineup outside the store. Some social
Dear editor: When we moved to the Old Town area of Niagara-on-the-Lake last December, we were so pleased to find a friendly town. The COVID-19 crisis unveiled a very different side of this town.
Dear editor: While I am in favour of social distancing completely, I think the actions taken in our town to close all public washrooms were very short-sighted and potentially increased risk to public safety. Yes,
Dear editor: Trying to sort through all the details about COVID-19 is a challenge for all of us when there is so much information and misinformation out there. The great claimer of “Fake News” is

Dear editor: I write to say I wholeheartedly support the sentiments of Earle Vance re: gestapo tactics, (“Pandemic Gestapo tactics are unnecessary,” letter, May 7). In my opinion, the mayor and the council have gone
Dear editor: In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, I feel the NOTL hospital should be recertified. It could be used for COVID-19 patient beds now and the hospital could be later repurposed for palliative care, hospice and

Dear editor: Someone has been posting notices on utility poles around Queenston. It's important to note that these are “guest courtesy rules,” not “resident courtesy rules.” I was relieved by the distinction, because I spend
Dear editor: I see the lord mayor and the town council are ramping up the Gestapo tactics, in my opinion an over-reaction to visitors needing a break from lockdown for their sanity. Bylaw enforcement
Dear editor: One afternoon last week two male individuals were throwing a tennis ball on Queen Street. One proceeded to throw it at the cenotaph, hitting it just below the clock face. This dangerous,
Dear editor: I am writing about why we don’t have Canadian workers for Niagara’s farms. We bought our 30-acre farm in 1965 and mainly grew grapes and two acres of peaches. My husband

Dear editor: I read with interest The Lake Report story on April 9 about the racial profiling of some farm workers that has been occurring in Niagara. How sad is this? As serious as this pandemic is,

Dear editor: I thought you would like to see the juxtaposition of beauty and garbage on Earth Day 2020. Three of us spent some time on April 22 walking from the NOTL Community
Dear editor: I never thought in a million years that I would ever be writing this letter for the benefit of Niagara-on-the-Lake residents. In the last few weeks the Niagara-on-the-Lake Rotary Club has given
Dear editor: The world will not be the same post COVID-19. Make no mistake, world economies have been devastated and business as usual will not return quickly. Economic depression could follow if world governments do
