‘The Largest Freshwater Island” and ‘Haweater’ remain alive within its pages
To the Expositor:
We all love Manitoulin and as I read the editorials about it, I am pleased with the kind words for Manitoulin. But I miss seeing the phrase “Manitoulin Island, the largest freshwater Island in the world.”
Thank you so much for keeping this phrase on the front of the paper.
Would it not be appropriate to have this sign at South Baymouth and the entrance to the Island when coming onto the Island at Little Current?
The phrase “Haweater” is slowly fading away, and many younger folks do not know what this phrase stands for.
If these phrases aren’t used, they begin to and may fade away completely.
I confess I don’t read all the editorials but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate them.
Thank you so much for reading this letter and I hope others will take up the suggestions here.
