Dear Neighbours, Recently a letter to the editor was published titled “Selfish in St. Albert”. This letter attempts to paint citizens in opposition to the construction of multiple towers in Oakmont as selfish.

In a world where busy-ness is viewed as a symbol of success, one of the most overwhelming effects of the new COVID-19 reality is how to deal with something many of us have not experienced in a while: living in a world where time has slowed down.

I believe now is a really important time for families who have had the good fortune of remaining financially stable during this COVID-19 outbreak to try and help those families struggling to make ends meet.

Over any given period, commentary and letters in the Gazette tend to be a mixture of knowledgeable posts, political doctrine, non-science and various complaints. This why it was a breath of fresh air to read the short letter from Robert K.

As fake news spreads, as does the COVID-19 pandemic. The balanced content of the Gazette deserves recognition.
