Dear Editor:
Centre Wellington has always been cool. I don’t know who needs to hear this.
As someone who grew up in Elora, summer days swimming at the quarry, picking from the tiny bins at the Green Owl, coveting the big knit sweaters at magic mountain, eating dreamy sandwiches from Two Capricorns or renting videos from Little Katy’s …
I want to remind you CW, it’s always been cool. No influencer needed. You have a municipal government that funds and manages projects that are appropriate for the community. Yes, it’s not perfect, and we don’t always get what we want, but there is a democratic system in place set up to represent, create and problem solve for the community.
The natural features of the community were stunning before us and will be stunning after we are gone. The excessive lighting of the town in 2025, when the juries are in about light pollution and its effect on wildlife populations is trashy. Don’t try so hard. You don’t need their money.
Alison Morrison,
