Niagara At Large is pleased to feature another in a series of ‘Signs of our Times’ on signs you might spot and share a photo of that make sense, make no sense, or just plain depict the sign of our times in our communities.
If you visit the front page of Niagara At Large and scroll down a few more stories, you will see one entry in this series already on signs by governments, bragging about spending our tax money on projects they should be spending our tax money on.
This sign was submitted to Niagara At Large with the caption - 'needs no further explanation'.
This one was submitted by Merilyn Anthoe, a Fort Erie resident and member of the Yellow Shirt Brigade, a citizens group dedicated to fighting for fair and accessible hospital services in southern Niagara. She submitted it as a photo that needs no further comment, which it probably doesn’t for Canadians and Americans living all year or part of the year on the Ontario side of Lake Erie in Niagara.
This sign speaks to the anger and concern so many residents in south Niagara have for the closing of emergency rooms at hospitals in Fort Erie and Port Colborne, and the general diminishing hospital services for people in this part of our region.
Once again, if you have a picture and caption you with to send to us from anywhere in Niagara, Ontario or the Erie and Niagara counties of New York, depicting the signs of our times, please send them to drapers@vaxxine.com for Niagara At Large. These signs and all your other comments are about lively public engagement in issues that matter to you in our region and communities.
