Dear Editor:
Thank you to Riverfest’s Wish You Were Here weekend of great music and fun on the grounds of the Elora Centre for the Arts. It was the perfect summer weekend for a backyard scaled-down music bash. The water bottle-free event provided much missed entertainment and a chance to gather safely. Thanks to the team that made this summer weekend such fun.
Thank you also to our mayor and Team Centre Wellington for meeting with the new Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks David Piccini at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario gathering. Presently the threshold for commercial water bottling is 379,000 litres per day without municipal consent. Our team pointed out to the minister that 50,000 litres a day would be a more reasonable amount for municipalities such as ours that need millions of dollars worth of new wells for municipal drinking water.
Thanks for these messages about the respect for water in Centre Wellington.
Donna McCaw,
Elora
