The NDP’s Olivia Chow has learned that the federal government wants the province to take over its federal docks on Manitoulin and Tobermory. That’s what delayed work on the terminals where the Chi Cheemaun docks. The feds wouldn’t carry out the work saying it’s a provincial responsibility. As stated in earlier reports the repair work is less than $300,000. Meanwhile, federal riding MP Carol Hughes says the feds have no problem spending millions on partisan politics but won’t pay for the dock upgrades.

The Domtar re-assessment Espanola is experiencing is going to cause some challenges. Mayor Mike Lehoux says council is looking at cutting $1.2 million from its budget and adds that means service gaps. Lehoux says the town has to look at new and create ways to deliver services and he’s hopeful that’s where volunteers can step up to the plate. Lehoux says Espanola is a caring community and it’s going to be those volunteers that help it get through this re-assessment problem. And although it’s a ways off, council will honour its volunteers on October 26^th.
