L I N K Now this is good news for Cornwall! If you don’t have your health you don’t have life and anything to improve health services is a blessing. “The new project will include an expansion of 95,000 square feet of new space and 78,000 square feet of renovation.Continue Reading
The more I read about other nearby communities and their arena projects; and the more I see the economy declining over the next year or so, the more I feel the city of Cornwall should not be green lighting this project; even if we get Federal Funding. Kingston just putContinue Reading
There’s a Federal election in the air – sure at the moment it’s just a whiff, but with hints of June dropped recently you never know. While our riding chose Guy Lauzon by a large percentage of a tiny apathetic vote, were those numbers based on Mr. Lauzon’s popularity orContinue Reading
