We were proud to get a handful of notes from people in the community who were happy with our No Bull feature leading up to the election.
Here is some of the feedback:
Denise said in a letter to the Sydenham Current: “Just wanted to send a message to you on what a great job you are doing sharing the local news with us. My sons are away at school and away from our community, but seem to be well informed of their home community through your site. I especially thought your questions to all candidates was a great idea, and is helping our family make our voting decisions this year. Great job, keep up the good work!”
Lorraine said on Facebook: “Sydenham Current your “No Bull” audio bites with candidates helped me tremendously in making my decision. Thank you so much!”
Christine said on Facebook: “Just wanted to say I’m really enjoying listening to all these sound clouds. Making me rethink some choices.Sorry if this has already been posted.”
Mike said on Facebook: “This is excellent. It’s like attending an all-candidate’s from the comfort of your home or office.”
