Dear Editor:
During our recent Homecoming long weekend the residents (and past residents) of Wingham came together once again to reminisce and to recognize the merits of living in small town Ontario: friendly neighbors, a quiet lifestyle, fresh air and wide open spaces.
A great many local groups and volunteers came together months ahead to host a variety of events to showcase and celebrate the unique characteristics of life in Wingham. None of this would have been possible without countless hours of work and dedication from our community’s volunteers. Wingham citizens were able to see and to be reminded why many have chosen to live and thrive in this beautiful area.
The true value of volunteerism and the qualities it promotes in our community were on display throughout the weekend. Homecoming was a refreshing opportunity for all to see what Wingham has to offer. Thank you to all who contributed to a successful Homecoming reunion. Special thanks go to Joe and Heidi Carter for their unwavering leadership with this project.
