We welcome letters to the editor.

Submissions must follow these guidelines:

• Letters must be no more than 300 words.
• Please submit the letter in the main body of the email (no attachments). Attachments will not be read.
• Please include your full name, email and phone number (these will not all be published, only your name). Anonymous letters or letters under pseudonyms will not be considered.
• If responding to an article published in the Manitoban, please include the headline and publication date of the article. We give priority to letters responding to material published by the newspaper.
• Letters must be sent to letters@themanitoban.com. They will not be considered otherwise.
• Submissions must include sources for all facts referred to in the letter.

Please note the following:

• Letters will be fact-checked.
• We reserve the right to adjust letters and their titles slightly for clarity, brevity and typos (with approval of the submitter).
• There is no guarantee that the letter will be reviewed and/or published due to limited resources (however, we are more likely to review the letter if it follows the word count limit and offers a new perspective or depth to an issue).
• Submissions that include sources will be prioritized for review.
• If after 7-10 days you have not heard back, please assume the letter will not be published.
