Dear Editor:
Recently I was disappointed to discover the two-day Fergus Christmas Market at the Centre Wellington Community Sportsplex would not happen this year.
Apparently Centre Wellington Township is prioritizing recreation programming over vendor market hall rentals. It seems pickleball, fitness programs and other activities are more important.
The Fergus Christmas Market was a wonderful opportunity for small local businesses to sell their wares and for the public to purchase unusual and one-of-a-kind items. Shop local and buy Canadian is what many of us try to do.
The sportsplex is a wonderful facility and can hopefully, on occasion, accommodate other interests than sports. I hope the township will reconsider their recreation programming.
Helen Mills,
Fergus
