‘Corporate citizenship’

Dear Editor:

On Feb. 13 a good friend of mine was seriously injured when a softball-sized rock flew through the windshield of his vehicle and struck him in the face. 

My friend suffered numerous facial fractures and a severely damaged eye. These injuries have required (and still requires) that he makes numerous trips to Hamilton for specialized surgeries and treatment. 

However, that is not what this letter to the editor is about. I am writing to publicly thank the management and staff of the Peavey Mart in Guelph. My friend and I live in different cities and meet in Guelph before I drive him to and from Hamilton for his medical appointments. Peavey Mart has been gracious enough to allow us to park a vehicle in their lot as frequently as necessary. 

The kindness and compassion of the staff at Peavey Mart most certainly demonstrates a significant level of corporate citizenship that everyone in Guelph and the surrounding communities are fortunate to be the recipients of.
