Dear Editor:
I am a student of John Black public school. A topic I would like to address is helping local businesses. There are plenty of local businesses that are here in Fergus. Most of the local businesses are in the downtown area. This includes Joe’s Butcher Shop, The Holland store or the Dutch store some call it, I Love Chocolate and plenty of others.
The way that we can help the most is buying from their stores and tipping. The workers really appreciate a nice tip because it supports the workers directly. Some stores even donate the tips to other causes like the war between Russia and Ukraine, hospitals and even other local businesses.
Helping other businesses can make you more of a friendly person and a better citizen too.
Carter Cameron,
Fergus
