We had a great turnout for Mayor Al McDonald with some great insight into how North Bay has grown and continues to improve.  Congratulations to Mayor McDonald on his past three terms of Mayor and good wishes in whatever he plans on taking on in the future.  I am sure we have not heard the last from him and hope to have him back to give us some updates on his new ventures.

 

Trudy wrote up a great tribute song that was a lot of fun and truly amazing!

 

Here is a recording of Mayor McDonald's presentation for any member that missed the meeting or would like to hear it again:  recording - https://youtu.be/WkhhvaabPco

Our next meeting on October 17 will be one you will want to attend and invite someone!  In keeping with our theme of Economic and Community Development, we will have Christie Wipprecht visit and talk about her business.  She is the owner/operator of 27Co Jewellery and Repair.  She will also have some of her samples - just in time for Christmas gift ideas!!!
