Yesterday marked the Official Opening of Greenstone's New Administration Building, a project that has been on the municipal agenda for over 30 years. Located on the shores of Kenogamisis Lake, the facility is wonderfully accommodating to having municipal staff in an interactive location and which will serve the municipal interests for years to come.
Following on many similar positive comments made by the over 150 guests who attended yesterday's event, I was very proud to have been a part of this project.
An energetic team of employees set the stage superbly for the Official Ribbon cutting ceremony including setting up guiding tours, and providing refreshments.
To the TEAM:
We saw Greenstone put it's Best Foot Forward yesterday. I commented to several that we saw a community celebrating yesterday and we did it WELL! The complements of Mayors Beaulieu, Power and Hobbs acknowledged a Greenstone dream that's been on the books for over 30 years!! The optimism and pride displayed yesterday in our celebration is evidence we are coming together and have a future to look forward to and one we are confident to invest in.
To the team.............I salute you as an example of "Service Excellence" and hope that it will continue to invite civic and personal pride. I said to Holly on the way home, that this was a great event in terms of organization, co-operation, and the community pride expressed by former Mayor Power, Mayor Beaulieu and contractor Rene Blouin. There was passion and sincerity spoken yesterday. I heard Michael and Renald deliver a resounding complimentary message of community and it made me exceptionally proud to have been a part of this process and to get us to this point in time.
This event was an wonderful example of how we should celebrate Greenstone. We so often hear so much of the downside, let's tell this story based upon the turnout of the citizens and guests who came out yesterday.
My personal CONGRATULATIONS is extended to the team who worked so hard for "Our Opening."
