Noise concerns

Dear Editor:

RE: “Excessive sound,” Sept. 12.

The Centre Wellington Black Committee would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the nearly 2,000 attendees and participants who made the CW Family FunDay Festival at Bissell Park on Sept. 1 a memorable event. Your enthusiasm and support are what make our community events so special.

We would also like to express our gratitude to the Township of Centre Wellington for the use of Bissell Park. Your support and cooperation were instrumental in making this event possible.

However, we would also like to address a concern raised by some of our neighbors regarding the noise levels during the event. We sincerely apologize for the music being too loud and for any inconvenience this may have caused to nearby residents. We understand the importance of maintaining a peaceful environment and will take measures to reduce noise levels at future events to ensure everyone can enjoy the festivities without disturbance.

Additionally, we regret to inform you that the foam party and laser tag activities were not held as planned. This was due to a directive from the township, which prohibited the use of inflammable materials on township property due to safety hazards. Unfortunately, we received this notification too late to update our promotions, and we apologize for any disappointment this may have caused.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to organizing more enjoyable and considerate events in the future.

Millicent Gordon,
Founder and chair,
Centre Wellington Black Committee
