Too much garbage

Dear Editor:

RE: Loves new rink, Jan. 23.

A quick note regarding the skating rink in the ball diamond at Victoria Park in Fergus.

First, thank you to those who maintain the rink, cleaning it off with the Kubota, and everyone else who takes their turns shovelling. Also, thank you to those who flood the rink as volunteers and parents to the up and coming hockey greats! Now for the downside. I was down with my grandson the other day and the amount of Gatorade bottles, water bottles and cans was surprising, along with the paper labels just strewn about in the players’ area where everyone puts their skates on.

You almost have to push the garbage pail out of the way to get out of the change area, yet it seems many do not seem to mind leaving their garbage right on the ground.

As the saying goes in camping/hiking “pack it in/pack it out.”
