Even though the majority of Vegreville town councillors oppose garage sales, they did endorse a set of guidelines for residents to follow if they so choose to host one.

Councillor Jerrold Lemko stated, “I support going ahead with garage and yard sales. It’s important to note they, (residents) are already happening in our community whether we have a plan in place or not.

As you can see driving around town you can see garage sales happening, but what I like about this that it gives the people the opportunity to have a garage sale, as long as they follow some guidelines. And those people who don’t agree with it, don’t go to the garage sales. You have a choice whether you attend it or not. There are those people who will seek out garage sales regardless of the state of the community right now with COVID. I support it with guidelines.”
