  Another major investment at the E. Ruddick airport for airside development is underway. 

Representation from Council was made to three Provincial Ministers in mid-August at the annual AMO Conference when they were presented with two briefs addressing electricity to The Ring of Fire.  Our request to both Ministers described in the briefs reads:

That the Minister take all actions necessary to ensure the construction within 3 years of a new transmission line from Cameron Falls to Nakina, in an already existing transmission corridor, to provide the electricity necessary to meet the electric arc furnace requirements at the Nakina site, And that the Minister work with the Premier and Cabinet to provide electricity costing for this project competitive with adjacent provinces.

The Nakina Volunteer Fire Department will soon have it’s new Rescue Unit Vehicle as it is being retrofitted with the necessary new equipment. The total cost of the rescue vehicle will be approximately $60,000.

Congratulations to Magali Roy and the supporters of the CornFest sponsored by Le Club Francais. While the crowd wasn’t huge, the spirit was gigantic. 

Due to construction, the Geraldton Pool will be closed from Tuesday August 10, 2010, until Thursday September 2, 2010. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Robert Kurish at 854-0636.

During the two hours devoted to this ceremony, there were very optimistic references by both MPP Gravelle and Mayor Power with forward-looking statements linked to the ‘Ring of Fire’ opportunities and the relationship of a new highway, mining activity and opportunity for revitalized communities.
