Should put the bon soo mascot in referee stripes at the top of the crane pretending to drop the puck. Maybe use the fire departments ladder truck so he can stand on the platform.

Solution is quite simple
1) issue property standards order to owner that building must be maintained to OBC minimum standard (which hasn’t been met in years)
2) give him a compliance date, after which time of non-compliance have property demolished under municipal property standards by-law.
3) place demolition cost lien against owners property tax bill
4) once owner defaults on tax payment, expropriate the property and city puts it up for sale.
5) credible local developers will purchase the property and build beautiful housing hi-rises and city will recover demo costs through property taxes building permits etc
4) the site will become a cash flow cow for city from tax revenues for years to come.

School rankings have historically and should continue to be measured by basic academic performance in 3 core subjects. Those being math, reading comprehension and science. These subjects are universally recognized as the gold standard in measuring learning ability, aptitude and knowledge. The nay-saying parents that think the measurements should be based on counting the different colours of a unicorn or the amount of likes their kids get on TikTok are only creating larger barriers for their kids when they hit the real work world!

Cut all senior managements salary by 20%, then cut middle management salaries by 10%….

Get rid of Malcom White’s redundant position immediately and download his 2 or 3 responsibilities to Vair.

Check the need for overtime costs in all departments as something is seriously wrong when rank and file employees are making well over $120k per year due to minimum manning.

Majority of budget is wages… this isn’t rocket science!!

Problem solved!

Great news and congrats Tony! If this project is anything like the machine shop district it will be another great tourist and local attraction. Hopefully he can get his hands on the the old pulp tower and board mill some day and refurnish them as well.
