This is an opportunity to hear more and full explanations on what CBC news just touched on Tuesday night.
As Mayor Fitzgerald stated “It’s really not all doom and gloom – we are not giving up and closing our doors up here on The GREAT Northern Peninsula just yet…. The Harris Centre Report provided some real eye opening information – if anything this is a wonderful opportunity to look at the way we do business and start working together. As small towns across this province we cannot stand alone any more – we need a collaborative effort /approach – it’s time to be reminded of our core values and our roots where everyone helps each other … And it’s one for all – and all for one!”
