Dear Editor:
We have lived in Mount Forest for over 50 years.
In our opinion we have the best little hospital, clinics and many great, friendly merchants, an ice cream shop with 56 flavours, an appliance store (free delivery, set up and all), good grocery stores, convenience stores, beauty salons, restaurants, a meat shop, dress shops, real estate offices, insurance offices, barber shops, carpet and furniture stores, a number one thrift store, pet grooming, aesthetic shops, veterinary service, a museum, coffee shops, top quality fabric and everything from wool to clothing shops, a store with colours from afar, pharmacies with friendly staff and delivery services.
You could say we have it all. Why go out of town when one can shop at home? If I have missed a business, space is limited in your weekly newspaper that is read by so many and delivered to our doors free of charge.
The LHIN Integrated Assisted Living Program has been fantastic to my husband and myself recently as we coped with health issues. The VON
Meals on Wheels Program in its kitchen in Mount Forest has delivered nutritious and plentiful meals for us.
The public works department servicing Arthur and Mount Forest does a good job. Our municipal councillors in our ward are to be commended for their dedication in Mount Forest (sidewalks, etc.). Our volunteer fire department is the best, as is the policing by the OPP.
Did I mention building supplies, drive-thru restaurants and a top-notch greenhouse?
Save the gas and your time, and be “high, happy and healthy” right here in Mount Forest, only a short drive to theatres, airports, a print shop and computer and high-tech stores.
Bob and Mary McIntee,
Mount Forest
