Paying scabs more then what they offer their own workers. I would be scared of what kind of training these drivers have... hopefully someone checks. Where did they all.come from?
Agreed.. its a great location... even an out door covered rink would be good. West Ferris arena is a totally different engineered structure then memorial gardens and so I don't think you can compare them- barrel roof, the location of the dressing rooms and the failing foundation probably in part to it being in Ferris just dont compare..
Its a decision on pecuniary interest... Running for mayor...currently a councillor sits on board for non-profit and alleges that concern about selling castle arms. Is he representing city or ? Where does he expect shortfall to come from with South Algonquin that he excused? What is the issue with having Castle Arms fall under Cassellholme... all municipal and not for profit. One management system and one board makes sense.
A simple google search shows it was approved in 2024.. with the Conservation authority approving it on July 3 2024. One homeowner in the area even responded to the approval. Reports to council etc are all available for anyone to look up.
I challenge people to read the integrity commissioners report. There is no pecuniary issue because the motion was about governance. . It says it may be an issue down the road. Lowery retired from Cassellholme.. became executive director of Castle Arms... the split in governance was mandated...however he was paid as executive director by Castle Arms... its semantics to say no pecuniary interest... at this time. He should not be reimbursed. READ THE REPORT
Forwarding emails to your spouse to preserve them just this guy's lack of intelligence. No wonder he got demoted. There are lots of ways to preserve stuff without leaking it to the public
Councillor Moreton from the township of Calvin is the vice chair of Conservation Authority Board.. as well several other municipalities have members on the Board. The members of the Board have three members of the North Bay City council. The other 9 spots are from other municipalities. Is the article saying the Board was not consulted and nobody but North Bay and the Authority knew about this? Did the authority act on its own to liquidate an asset before the province restructuring the authorities across the province? Where is the investigation into the story... there are way more people to interview then Mitchell?
There are solutions for those who respect the fact that people need a fair wage- car pooling etcThe employer is using the kids as pawns... they knew delaying would bring this about. The schools and NPSSTS are responsible to get kids to school and should have made other arrangements so that both the employer and workers are on level playing fields
Where are the stats on transition housing? If you are building more then that should be because of success. So how many have gone through and moved on back into the community? As well saying things have stabilized without speaking to the fencing and security requirements along with issues the occurred in the fall are disingenuous. It could all be due to winter... they need to show your over year stats not six months of winter...
What happened to the threat to cancel contract? Who is paying for subsidy - where is money coming from? Instead subsidize drivers pay....so they can go back to work
Npssts and schools should have made arrangements to get kids to school and bypass Alouette. That way they have to negotiate they want to get paid. Imagine the lawsuits to all parties if there is an issue... kids dropped at wrong stop or not at all, accidents. How did they get qualified trained drivers so fast ?
@DamienM. I agree police were overkill to keep board member from Castle Arms out. However I have observed many a meeting where the interruptions do not allow for conversation and a different story to be delivered. Is there a bill coming from police or was it part of regular duties? Police often attend meetings and no bills are submitted.
