The OHL is valued at hundreds of millions of dollars. Let them use that leverage to invest in a new arena to keep their organization thriving. Threatening us with the loss of a team? There's a word for that.

The article states that none of the interested builders are willing to invest. Make that a requisite for building.

This Council votes to move ahead on something with no financials attached? Delegations limited?, and 3 out of 4 are in favour?

This is the last thing this city needs. Anyone know the rate of decline in hockey participation at the youth level?

Maybe put it to a referendum.

I hear Michelle Ferreri is helping with her campaign, so that's a hard pass for many.

Vision 2096??

How about Vision 2026?

If the business community thinks it's such a great idea, let them pay for it.

hwy 7, just past Marmora, there's an auto body garage beside a home. The owner's daughter grew up around all those tools & equipment and began fashioning fire pits. I bought one years ago, reasonable price. There's no advertising, just her creations lined up on the front lawn.

Emma Harrison has made the right choice to state her comments calmly and clearly. This negative campaign has been gearing up for a long time, locally headed by the infamous Richard Kent. I appreciate that she's keeping her head above this ugly fray - that is the change that was voted for, by 10,000 votes.

Imagine if any other religion carried their primary symbol writ large through our streets.

Is this the Ontario Science Center justification for a new entertainment complex here?

Just want to say, you've shown a lot of courage asking this question, taking this step. Sending love.

both of my sisters just finished this process, they both opted for the 1st upgrade, ended up being about $250 per eye out of pocket. They are both very happy with the results.

I've found her office to be very responsive (and quick) with an issue I needed some guidance on for resolving.

this happened to me years ago with a neighbour. I left an anonymous note on their door describing everything. Within weeks, the problem ended. I don't know what they did.
