City Scope is taking a short break over the Canada Day long weekend but we will be back on diligent duty next week. After all, we need to know what lies ahead with the imminent opening of the supportive housing units on Queen Street.

And, will we be able to see the results of a survey sent to downtown businesses on the proposed closure of the laneway from the city hall parking lot to St. Catharine Street? C.J. Allen of Good Vibes Community Association sure wasn’t happy about that development.

Mid-June we were invited to tour the Formet plant as they celebrated their 25th anniversary in St. Thomas and we’ll have that item when we return. Along with an interview with the new Elgin OPP detachment commander . . . she has quite the story to tell.

If your busy schedule has kept you from visiting this corner of late, below are links to the three most recent posts.

Enjoy the long weekend!
