‘Striped banner’
Dear Editor:
An open letter to the towns of Fergus and Arthur.
Please change up your banners that hang from your light poles. We are Canadian towns in Canada and yet (especially Arthur) there isn’t one Canadian flag hanging from any of your light poles.
The Canadian flag is inclusive for each person living in this beautiful country yet there remains one dominant banner strung on most, if not all, of the light poles.
The striped banner is the only banner that gets hung for most, if not all of the year. All of the other banners that get put up for their special month get their exact allotted time, and then taken down, so why not the same for the striped banner, too?
Arthur claims it is the most patriotic town in Canada – with not one Canadian flag to be seen on any light pole.
Nicoline Pieffers,
