Editor:
Our heartfelt sympathies go out to all the families who have lost loved ones in the tragic explosion at Babine Lake Forest Products.
News of the tragedy has swept across the country and is especially heartfelt in the forest communities of Northern Ontario.
We hope the mill reopens since it is the economic mainstay of a proud community.
Our youngest son Martin was born in Burns Lake in 1992.
We have fond memories, especially of the many friends we had to sadly leave, of the great Omineca Ski Club, expeditions to Boer Mountain and over to the Southside and the finest celebration of Robbie Burns day, ever.
Paul, Irena, Michael and Martin Filteau
