Tourist Information receives new roof By Ted Hyde • GRAND BEND - Some may remember the difficulties that the Grand Bend Chamber of Commerce were experiencing during the summer. The office and public information building had multiple roof problems due to age, and it appeared that their problems were just starting. The Ministry of Transportation rents a portion of the building as a vehi- cle licensing and registration office, and it is this rental fee that the Cham- ber of Commerce uses to pay for the upkeep of the building. When the roof difficulties started, the ministry threatened to withdraw its tenancy; this would have Left Grand Bend without a tourist information building. Recently, the Chamber got a break. According to Chamber president Norm Johnston, scheduled for Saturday, 19 October, 1991, the building receives a new roof. The labour will be donated by the Grand Bend "Mari- ners" hockey team, with the Chamber covering the materials costs. It is expected that the repairs will meet the ministry's requirements and they will continue to share the building in the foreseeable future. .• •y• ,iiliilirirliit%i l 7 NV. ii /lir, /A►ficiM P,4111 tp /d/f►Ar4Y0 f 10/11/11rlyilfrr,,r'f,e•' tr`.A ruild, X Without shelter?
