Dear Editor:
What’s to be done?
Summerland’s reputation as a nice, friendly town is tarnished.
Our seasonal fruit pickers are treated as “other.”
One of them was found trying to live in one of our public washrooms. This is not acceptable.
A church in the heart of a big city allowed the homeless to sleep on their pews. This is not a seasonal sanctuary.
Our seasonal workers are an important part of our economy. As young people, they are our future.
What’s to be done, Summerland.
