Dear Editor:
I am new to Fergus, having purchased our “old” new house in early December. We are truly enamoured with Fergus and all it has to offer. In particular, we are big walkers, and soon to be cycling again. The surrounding network of trails is so appealing and lovely. If I don’t get out for a hike once per day, I just don’t feel quite right.
Lately, as the snow and ice have been melting, I am disappointed to observe that a great deal of those who walk with their furry family members are not treating the trails responsibly. There is a great deal of dog poop appearing – and fresh dumps pretty much every day.
I would expect more respect from the dog walkers and locals of their gorgeous trails. They really are a superb bonus to living in the surrounding area, but not when they are covered in dog poop.
Fergus residents, I am sure you can do better.
Virginia Gallop,
Fergus
