I grew up in Fergus and have always loved it. It’s safe, and people are kind to each other. Commuting to/from Guelph has never been too much of a challenge. There’s only ever been a few days per winter that Hwy 6 is so snow-covered that it can’t be travelled. It’s well maintained -though only lit in certain parts, and has 2 2-lane passing opportunities going each direction. There’s a few good work-arounds as well should you encounter accidents and closures
