Rules governing letters to the editor in the Echo are:

  2. The writer must submit his/her letter in person and satisfactorily identify themselves, or submit a telephone number to be used to verify that the letter was actually written by the person whose name is included on it, delaying the publication if necessary to make the verification.
  3. Letters will not be accepted from people outside the local coverage area unless the letters are written on a topic primarily of local interest.
  4. If a letter attacks another group, the Echo will allow a response in the same edition.
  5. Letters should not exceed 300 words and may be edited for length and content.

RE: Community Pride
Feb 24, 2010

I have been living in Manitouwadge for three years now and I can say that during this Frosty Days weekend, I was so proud to say I live in the Wadge!  Dave Jung, you did an amazing job at Kiwissa - that Ice Stage would certainly be the envy of many towns and cities!
It was a busy weekend with several highlights, but I have to say that the Cardboard Box Races were such a surprise! This was the first year my children have been able to participate in that event since moving here because we have always been out of town for hockey, but let me tell you - for those who missed it - what a fun time; both as a participant and as a Spectator!  Some of those teams flew down that hill at great speeds and it was so fun to watch and see all the creativity that was put into their creations!
As Chairperson of the Nite on the Town Entertainment Series,  I also want to thank everyone who came out to enjoy the Cabaret Night.  There were 5 live bands that performed throughout the night to entertain the crowd of just over 200 people!  It was a successful fundraiser for our Committee and we look forward to bringing more shows like this one a few times a year!  We had so many positive comments from people with many new faces coming out! 
Manitouwadge might not be the booming town it used to be, but those of us who are here still matter and we need to have more reasons to get together and celebrate being a community together because Manitouwadge is a great town with wonderful people and dedicated volunteers willing to make great things happen!
 
Sincerely
