Dear Editor:
RE: Rainbow criticism, June 9.
Centre Wellington has always had a majestic feel with the limestone buildings, Grand River, Elora Gorge, and Fergus’ Scottish, culture which allows most to find some characteristic of the area they can relate to.
When I see one special interest group being promoted for the entire month of June, on store fronts, schools and the museum steps, not everyone is represented, and for the first time since living in the area, I feel excluded. Also, I feel helpless that my tax dollars are being used without my consent to promote something I do not support.
I suggest that Centre Wellington embrace all special interest groups and promote them each for an entire month in the summer, including; Christian organizations, pro-life groups, Special Olympics, historical society, etc. That way the community will feel that they are being represented and their tax dollars are also going towards something they believe in.
Please consider being fair to everyone.
Carol O’Neil,
Fergus
