A block on The Square between
North and Colborne Streets was
officially opened for business Fri-
day afternoon by Mayor Deb
Shewfelt and members of the
town's Chamber of Cominerce
and BIA.
The damage to the buildings in
that block was less severe and
some of the businesses were able
to open to the public. The mayor
announced that vehicular traffic
would resume on The Square later
on Friday. It marked the first time
in almost three weeks since the F3
tornado swiped a 500 metre path
through the town, that anyone had
been in the restricted core area.
Courthouse Park will likely
remain closed until it can be
cleaned up this week.
"This is a big step," mayor Shefelt
said. We are not victims we are
survivors and we will move
ahead."
"We all owe great thanks to the
first responders and the front-line
people who helped us get through
this. They got us going again.
"It is amazing that we are able to
open for some business"
The state of emergency remains
in place until Friday, Sept. 16 to
enable the town and volunteers to
continue with cleanup efforts.
On Thursday, Sept 15, two Naval
ships, HMCS Shawinigan and
HMCS Summerside will arrive in
port at 8 a.m. to raise awareness
among Canadians of their Navy
and to highlight career
opportunities.
