built with geotub drying beds. They are also renovating the existing headworks building to improve the primary treatment of the influent. Next year the town will build a UV disinfection building, located at the end of the lagoons for the final treatment of the wastewater before it goes through and exits into the river. They’ve also built a new chalet for the cross-country skiing trails, a wetland recreation facility, an 8-foot wide walking bridge across the Corduroy Brook Wetland trail and a mountain bike trail. Much like the rest of Canada and North America, the population of Grand Falls-Windsor is aging. The province and private sector have invested in seniors’ care facilities in the town, but Ducey hopes to expand and engage the town’s highly educated population. He declares, “The town works tirelessly to grow the community and from an economic development perspective, we’re very much interested in talking to businesses that have a need. If it’s a human resources need, the education level here is very high. I think that’s important to most businesses and if they do have a need in their growth plan, the people of Grand Falls-Windsor are most interested in talking to them. We have very strong relationships with our education institutions here and would welcome the opportunity to work with any company that has plans for growth.” PREFERRED VENDOR n DMG Consulting Limited www.dmg.nf.ca
