Toys taken?
Dear Editor:
Where did all the toys go from Webster Park on Churchhill Crescent in Fergus?
For at least two decades that park has been filled with toys and children playing happy in the sand with all the diggers, trucks, riding toys, shovels and buckets. I personally know of children coming from all around Fergus to play with these toys.
On Tuesday the township put up a sign that announced that all toys must be removed or be destroyed by the Township of Centre Wellington because of COVID-19.
What difference does it make if the toys are there or not? The slides, swings, climbers, etc. are not wiped down on a regular basis. Is there not the same germs on them as on these precious toys?
We the parents, caregivers and children would love to see the toys back. Help us please keep our kids off the internet, playing mindless games and getting no exercise.
Parents also enjoy talking, exchanging ideas and making new friends while our children are enjoying the fresh air and exercise associated with outdoor play.
Is this not what life is all about?
Marje Gray, Fergus
