Signs ‘disappeared’

Dear Editor:

RE: Only one candidate?  (April 3).

A letter recently appeared mentioning that only one candidate’s campaign signs are visible in parts of Wellington-Halton Hills North.  

I was involved in many election campaigns  for a different party in Wellington ridings and was the “sign manager” in a couple of these.

Our experience was that typically 30% of our signs disappeared before the election including almost all those on public property (e.g. street corners) and quite a few on private property. 

I would not be at all surprised if that is continuing to happen.

Mike Fich,
