POSTCARD PERFECT

We welcome Letters to the Editor from our readers on items of interest to Glengarrians and about Glengarry. Only those submissions where the writer agrees to be identified will be printed. Letters are subject to editing for length and grammar. In instances where correspondence must be reduced due to its length, care will be taken to ensure that the intent of the writer is not changed. Letters will be published in the order that they arrive except in instances where timeliness is a consideration. We prefer to receive letters by email at letters@glengarrynews.ca for ease in handling, but will accept those that come by regular mail to 3 Main Street S., Box 10, Alexandria, K0C 1A0, or by fax to 613 525-3284. All correspondence should include a telephone number where the writer can be contacted between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. for confirmation purposes.

UNE GRANDE FÊTE VERTE: In the early 1900s, Alexandria was the scene of an elaborate St-Jean-Baptiste celebration that was centred around a cedar arch created in the middle of Main Street.
