Canada p10cna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Message from Mike Rencheck, President & CEO Bruce Power I would like to take this opportu- nity to follow up from the July 18 announcement regarding my appointment as President and CEO of Bruce Power, starling onAug. 15. Firstly, it is an honour and a privilege to have the opportunity to be part of a respected organiza- tion and to work with the people of Bruce Power. The organization has achieved amazing progress since the company's creation and has enabled a very bright future. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with many in Canada's nuclear industry and Bruce Power. As the new Presi- dent and CEO, I look forward to building on this success and working with the strong team of employees to continue to deliver on Bruce Power's role in Ontar- io's Long -Term Energy Plan. I know how important Bruce Power is to the province, Canada's nuclear industry, and surrounding communities in midwestern Ontario. Being raised in a small town and knowing the positive eco- nomic impact nuclear facilities have, I understand there will always be a significant amount of interest in the success of Bruce Power. The company has established a strong reputation in its host region and also throughout the province. This has been through open com- munications, collaboration and a commitment to corporate social responsibility. We must continue to build on this successful formula as it has been a core value of mine throughout my career. We must also continue building our reputation that, as an organi- zation, Bruce Power is committed to its Number 1 value of 'Safety First,' while delivering low-cost, clean and reliable electricity to Ontario families and businesses. This trust can never be compro- mised, and is fundamental to ensuring our long-term success. Over the coming weeks, my wife Carol and I look forward to moving to the Bruce region and settling into the community. It is a beautiful area and a vibrant community. We are looking for- ward to this new role with the Bruce Power Team and being a part of the community. This is something very important to Carol and me. I want to thank you for the many welcoming comments since this was announced. In the com- ing months, Carol and I look for- ward to meeting as many people as possible and ensuring Bruce Power continues to play a positive role locally and throughout Ontario for many years to come. Best regards, Mike Rencheck PURPLE GROVE NEWS Heat wave, wheat harvest and family gatherings in Purple Grove The wheat harvest is coming off well thanks to the great sunny weather, and it's been a busy week in the community, too.
