"Have Your Say" Submission Guidelines

BE TIMELY: Write your letter within a day of the article’s date.

INCLUDE CONTACT INFORMATION: Include your full name, phone # and email address (we may need to call you to verify you really wrote the letter – we will not print anonymous letters).

BE CLEAR: Make one main point.

BE CONCISE: 1- 3 paragraphs, 3-8 sentences, 40-100 words. Short letters show confidence in your position.

BE ACCURATE: Letters that are factually inaccurate are not printed.

BE INTERESTING: Get your reader’s attention and keep it to the end of your letter. Open with an interesting fact or strong statement and keep your points as interesting as possible.

AVOID PERSONAL ATTACKS: Show respect for the opposite opinion. Being rude may cause people to disagree with you on principle.

PROOFREAD: Re-read your letter. Check for grammar and spelling mistakes. If possible, ask another person to read your letter for accuracy and clarity.

DON’T WORRY IF YOUR LETTER IS NOT PRINTED: Even if it is well-written, it might not be printed if it addresses the same issue as letters already printed.

MarkhamToday.ca reserves the right to selectively publish letters to the editor.
