‘Shame on you’

Dear Editor:

An open letter to Laura Hanley, executive director, Community Living Guelph Wellington.

Regarding the closures of the day programs: shame on you and anyone else involved in this decision.

It brought tears to my eyes when I read this past week of Greg Blagton and of Christopher Wilson and many others losing this program. I suspect that none of you have children that need and deserve a helping hand. To take away this long running program is so cruel. And to replace it with nothing basically is beyond cruel.

I don’t have a child or even know one personally that attends a day program, but it stunned me to the core that a decision like this would be made.

These people ask for nothing and that’s what it seems you’re giving them. Correct this injustice.

Marguerite Leslie,
Erin
