A recent retirement gift brought a youthful sparkle to the
eyes of 18-year Public Works employee Arthur Gellert. This
toy John Deere backhoe on an engraved mounting was
chosen by the Public Works staff and It will obviously be
the source of many fond memories in the years to come.

Gellert was honored at-a recent city council meeting where °

he recelved this gift from Public Works as well as.a Ker-
modei Bear picture from the city. ,

R & R CONTRACTING

Business

Co-op general manager
Lawrence Gosselin is smiling...
and with good reason. Business
has been far better than expected
during their current renovations
and the project itself is ahead of
schedule. Gosselin attributes.the
current state of business to the
fact that the $750,000 renova-
tion project is long overdue and
Co-op members are finally see-
ing something happen. ‘‘Mem-
bers wanted something to hap-
pen more than anything else,’’
Gosselin says of the project.
“‘They’re excited and they’re
coming in to see what’s going
on,”’ .

Gosselin says there have been
some minor delays caused by the
delivery of windows and doors,

but adds that this has made it

possible for other work to pro-

gress earlier than planned. In- -

terior work that wasn’t sched-
uled until January is already

underway and the missing hard-.

ware components can be quickly
installed when they arrive, put-

ting the project over a month
ahead of schedule. Just how far
ahead of schedule is difficult to
determine, however, because an
actual completion date hasn’t
been set. ‘“‘We know what we're
going to do,” says Gosselin,
‘‘and it will be done as soon as
possible.’’

Some of the more exciting
things to look for in the near

future, says Gosselin, involves -

the Co-op Building Centre and
the Farm and Garden Centre.
The Building Centre is expected
to be open for business at a new
location by mid-December —
the former QM_ Industries
premises at Keith and Molitor.
Gosselin says the Co-op has
leased the property, and the
larger building and 1.3 acres of
property promise a bigger and
better Building Centre. ‘‘This is

a big move that we've needed for

quite some time and we’re anx-

ious to get in,’’ says Gosselin.
And once this move is com-

plete, he says, the Farm and

Garden Centre can move into
the building previously occupied
by the Building Centre. Co-op
has been planning that move
since the Farm and Garden Cen-
tre was destroyed by fire,

In the months to come, the
main Co-op building will boast a
totally renovated food floor and
concourse, two brand new en-
trances and a completely re-
vamped and enlarged cafeteria.
He adds that there’s a bonus in
the cafeteria renovations for the
seniors’ housing project, too.
All the old tables and chairs in
the cafeteria have been donated
to their recreation center.
