Dear Editor:
I was very disappointed to see that Drew Adams, a local U13 lacrosse in Centre Wellington who recently won a gold medal at the National Championship in Halifax, received only a small mention in your coverage, on page 28 to say the least.
This is a remarkable achievement, not just for Drew but for our entire community and it deserved more recognition.
Winning a national title requires years of dedication, sacrifice and hard work. It is an accomplishment that should inspire young athletes in our area and highlight the talent that comes from our community.
A more prominent feature would have celebrated not only the athlete’s success but also the values of perseverance and commitment that such a victory represents.
I hope in the future the newspaper will give greater attention to the outstanding achievements of local athletes who bring pride to our community on the national stage.
Andrew Taylor,
Fergus
