Also at the edge of town, the Elora Gorge Conservation Area often fills to capacity on summer weekends. The park offers paddleboat rentals, hiking, camp-grounds, fishing and picnicking. Also operated by the Grand River Conservation Authority, the nearby Elora Quarry is a popular swimming area.[15] The annual Elora Festival (2 weeks in July) is particularly popular; the headliner in 2017 was Gordon Lightfoot.[16] The Elora mill, built in the 1830s, was a hotel until 2010and was being restored to luxury level which reopened as the Elora Mill Inn and Spa on July 6,2018.[17] The township encourages the filming of movies and TV shows; quite a few productions have taken advantage of the historic look of Fergus and especially Elora for location work.[18] For example, in 2016, parts of the 10-part mini-series, Canada: The Story of Us, were filmed in Elora which stood in for scenes of WW II skirmishes in Holland and France.[19] Local governmentTownship council includes a Mayor and six councilors. Three of the latter live in Fergus while one lives in Elora. The Township is also represented on the County of Wellington Council which is made up of seven mayors and nine councilors. The head of this council is the Warden.[20] The township of Centre Wellington has an active historical society and operates the Wellington County Museum and Archives in a historic stone building in Aboyne, halfway between Elora and Fergus, Ontario.[21] This two-storey Italianate stone building was the earliest known state-supported poorhouse or almshouse in Canada, called the House of Industry and Refuge when it opened in 1877. Subsequently, the home switched to caring for the elderly and chronically ill, eventually closing in 1971. The building was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1995.[22][23] ClimateThis township has a humid continental climate (Dfb) under the Köppen climate classification with cold winters and warm summers. {{Weather box|location = Fergus (1981−2010) |metric first = Y |single line = Y |Jan record high C = 15.6 |Feb record high C = 12.0 |Mar record high C = 23.9 |Apr record high C = 29.0 |May record high C = 32.0 |Jun record high C = 34.0 |Jul record high C = 35.5 |Aug record high C = 35.0 |Sep record high C = 35.0 |Oct record high C = 28.9 |Nov record high C = 24.4 |Dec record high C = 17.5 |year record high C = 35.5 |Jan high C = −3.6 |Feb high C = −2.1 |Mar high C = 2.6 |Apr high C = 10.4 |May high C = 17.5 |Jun high C = 22.8 |Jul high C = 25.2 |Aug high C = 24.2 |Sep high C = 19.8 |Oct high C = 12.7 |Nov high C = 5.4 |Dec high C = -0.7 |year high C = 11.2 |Jan mean C = −7.4 |Feb mean C = −6.3 |Mar mean C = −1.9 |Apr mean C = 5.7 |May mean C = 12.2 |Jun mean C = 17.5 |Jul mean C = 20.0 |Aug mean C = 19.0 |Sep mean C = 14.9 |Oct mean C = 8.3 |Nov mean C = 2.1 |Dec mean C = −3.9 |year mean C = 6.7 |Jan low C = −11.1 |Feb low C = −10.5 |Mar low C = −6.5 |Apr low C = 0.9 |May low C = 6.9 |Jun low C = 12.2 |Jul low C = 14.7 |Aug low C = 13.8 |Sep low C = 9.9 |Oct low C = 3.9 |Nov low C = −1.2 |Dec low C = −7.1 |year low C = 2.2 |Jan record low C = −35.0 |Feb record low C = −32.8 |Mar record low C = −31.7 |Apr record low C = −18.9 |May record low C = −6.1 |Jun record low C = -0.6 |Jul record low C = 2.2 |Aug record low C = -0.6 |Sep record low C = −5.0 |Oct record low C = −11.7 |Nov record low C = −18.3 |Dec record low C = −34.4 |year record low C = −35.0 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 67.9 |Feb precipitation mm = 55.9 |Mar precipitation mm = 59.6 |Apr precipitation mm = 74.1 |May precipitation mm = 86.9 |Jun precipitation mm = 83.8 |Jul precipitation mm = 89.2 |Aug precipitation mm = 96.6 |Sep precipitation mm = 93.1 |Oct precipitation mm = 77.2 |Nov precipitation mm = 93.0 |Dec precipitation mm = 68.6 |year precipitation mm = 945.7 |rain colour = green |Jan rain mm = 27.8 |Feb rain mm = 25.3 |Mar rain mm = 36.7 |Apr rain mm = 67.9 |May rain mm = 86.8 |Jun rain mm = 83.8 |Jul rain mm = 89.2 |Aug rain mm = 96.6 |Sep rain mm = 93.1 |Oct rain mm = 75.6 |Nov rain mm = 80.5 |Dec rain mm = 34.7 |year rain mm = 797.8 |snow colour = green |Jan snow cm = 40.1 |Feb snow cm = 30.6 |Mar snow cm = 22.9 |Apr snow cm = 6.2 |May snow cm = 0.1 |Jun snow cm = 0.0 |Jul snow cm = 0.0 |Aug snow cm = 0.0 |Sep snow cm = 0.0 |Oct snow cm = 1.6 |Nov snow cm = 12.5 |Dec snow cm = 33.9 |year snow cm = 147.8 |unit precipitation days = 0.2 mm |Jan precipitation days = 19.7 |Feb precipitation days = 14.9 |Mar precipitation days = 14.0 |Apr precipitation days = 14.6 |May precipitation days = 14.4 |Jun precipitation days = 12.0 |Jul precipitation days = 11.5 |Aug precipitation days = 12.4 |Sep precipitation days = 13.9 |Oct precipitation days = 16.5 |Nov precipitation days = 17.4 |Dec precipitation days = 18.3 |year precipitation days = 179.5 |unit rain days = 0.2 mm |Jan rain days = 4.7 |Feb rain days = 4.5 |Mar rain days = 7.4 |Apr rain days = 12.9 |May rain days = 14.3 |Jun rain days = 12.0 |Jul rain days = 11.5 |Aug rain days = 12.4 |Sep rain days = 13.9 |Oct rain days = 16.3 |Nov rain days = 13.1 |Dec rain days = 6.8 |year rain days = 129.7 |unit snow days = 0.2 cm |Jan snow days = 16.5 |Feb snow days = 11.8 |Mar snow days = 8.2 |Apr snow days = 2.8 |May snow days = 0.15 |Jun snow days = 0.0 |Jul snow days = 0.0 |Aug snow days = 0.0 |Sep snow days = 0.0 |Oct snow days = 0.73 |Nov snow days = 5.6 |Dec snow days = 13.2 |year snow days = 59.0 |source 1 = Environment Canada[24] |date=September 2012 }} SportsCentre Wellington recently expanded the community centre in Fergus which now has two ice pads, a pool, a hall and a gym.
