Our fair little city, managing the economic crisis that the surrounding community has been exposed too. We have slowed down a bit, but not as bad as other areas in the northern part of our province.

Why, it helps that we are the golden child of our premier. It helpls that our employment force is predominantly for one form of government or another.

Money flows in, money flows out.
