Heads in the sand?
Dear Editor:
The housing crisis hasn’t gone away. It’s just been going on for so long it feels like the new normal to see people unhoused, displaced, unable to find safe affordable housing.
Wellington County just earmarked $1.4 million for their winter respond program to house the unhoused during the coldest months of the year.
The town of Erin just passed a short-term rental bylaw, and yet here in Centre Wellington it’s almost been another four years with no movement on the issue, except to waste taxpayer money on a consultant whose suggestions you scrapped.
Our neighbours are being displaced in favour of out-of-town wedding guests.
Get your heads out of the sand.
Maddy Smith,
Fergus
