Team Cornwall Year In Review

It’s December, which means it’s time once again for the ever-popular Team Cornwall annual Year-in-Review meeting.

The meeting will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 16 at 7 a.m., at the Galaxy Cinemas on Second Street East. The highlight of the meeting will be a presentation by Mark Boileau, manager of Cornwall Economic Development. Mr. Boileau will review the economic activity in the city that has occurred over the past 12 months. This year’s presentation marks the tenth straight year that the city’s Economic Development Department has delivered its report. “It is always a pleasure to share with Team Cornwall members and the entire community some of the good news stories that continue to unfold in our city,” said Mark Boileau. “2008 was a busy year, with a number of companies leading the way in a variety of sectors.”

Team Cornwall Achievements!

Along with the presentation from Cornwall Economic Development, Team Cornwall will also be highlighting its members’ efforts and accomplishments over the past year. “Our members have been travelling and spreading the word about Cornwall, and it is always exciting to catch up on what everybody is doing,” said Gilles Latour, chair of Team Cornwall. “The organization as a whole has also achieved a number of milestones, especially on the marketing front.”

Open to All

The meeting is open to all—regardless of Team Cornwall membership. A light breakfast will be served at 7 a.m., followed by the regular meeting, which is likely to contain some interesting surprises. Graham Greer will also be entertaining the early morning crowd.
