Brickbats for Adventure Centre Editor, I can not believe the waste of taxpayer dollars that have gone on since Ian Sutherland became mayor. We have an Adventure Centre with its costs up to $4.9 million now! What happened to the $2.

A full house of Chamber of Commerce members and paying guests arrived at Pepe and Gringo's restaurant Tuesday (Feb. 21) to hear newly elected MP Blair Wilson discuss whatever he was going to discuss.

Carney's sets record straight Editor, A number of your readers posed good questions in the most recent editions of The Chief. I want to clarify one error in fact published in a letter written by Ronaye Daly (Trashing new garbage totes) in the Feb.
