'At a time when such businesses and organizations, who greatly contribute to our community, are already under extreme pressure, why is the city not doing its share to sustain them?'

GuelphToday welcomes letters to the editor at editor@guelphtoday.com. Please include your daytime phone number and address (for verification of authorship, not publication). The following letter is about the city's decision to stop collecting garbage from many churches and small businesses.

If the facts as reported in this article are even half right, this policy needs a rethink.

Most small businesses, faith groups and charities operate on a very small footprint and on a very small budget. At a time when such businesses and organizations, who greatly contribute to our community, are already under extreme pressure, why is the city not doing its share to sustain them?

The favour of a policy review and associated announcement is requested.
