Just announced, the Canadian Federal Govt’ has pledged $250,000 to help renovate the Hockey Hall of Fame…public money for a private facility…

this on the heels of massive cuts and lay offs…

and of course, closer to home, on a provincial level we face the divestment of the ONTC.
Timing is everything they say; I say, the timing sucks. I’m not saying I’m totally against the idea of supporting arts and heritage, but is right now the right time? What say you?
V’s.O.D…Northern Ontario Fires
May 28th, 2012 by gregwilliams
If you haven’t, here’s some of the footage found on youtube of the fires…some pretty incredible footage, and given the circumstances, amazing that there hasn’t been more destruction or other unfortunate incidents. Our thoughts and prayers go out to our Northern Ontario brothers and sisters and the First Responders for working so tirelessly and doing such a great job…and for the B.C. crews that are now on scene!

Casual Friday (So what if it was on a Thursday)
May 25th, 2012 by gregwilliams
I’m no manager…I’m no sales rep…I’m a radio DJ on a rock n’ roll station. It’s the summer time, and it’s hot. I’m a personality and some of that comes out in my fashion; the clothes I wear…and yesterday, there were a few cracks made about my “attire”.
The question I have for you is this:
Did I take “Casual Friday” too far on a Thursday at the Radio Station?

For those not on facebook, here you are:
The process for removing the tractor trailer from the accident scene commenced this morning, Wednesday May 23. At this time it is expected Highway 63 will be reopened this evening; however Silver Lady Lane will remained closed.
Hazardous Waste Response teams are on site and remediation has commenced working from the accident scene towards Trout Lake. Remediation consists of removal of contaminated soils and plants. The extent of this removal will be based on the total area exposed by the spill..
The evacuation of Silver Lady Lane remains in place and efforts are underway to reduce the impacted area. The Hazardous Response Team, Ministry of Environment, Health Unit, Fire Services and Police Services will be assessing this situation this afternoon.
With respect to water quality, the City’s piped water system remains secure and safe for consumption. The Health Unit continues to advise those drawing directly from Trout Lake to find alternate sources of water. Those drawing water from a well, outside the impacted area of Silver Lady Lane, are not impacted by the formaldehyde spill.
Evacuated residents are asked to contact Deputy Chief Mike Bechard at 705-474-0626 ext. 4802. General inquiries can be directed to 705-474-0626 ext. 2333.
