Wicked winds damage Fergus tennis courts

Wicked winds - High winds whipped through Wellington County on July 19, taking out branches and causing other damage, such as this to the tennis courts at the Centre Wellington Community Sportsplex in Fergus.

Kasey Beirnes, facility operations supervisor at the sportsplex, said the township has called a fencing contractor to see what it will take to get the fence repaired, “and we’ll try to get them open as quickly as possible.”

He added, “I know a lot of people have been using those courts.”

In the meantime, the courts are closed.
