140 141 T o residents and visitors alike, Te- cumseh, Ontario offers an enticing blend of small town charm and big city amenities and opportunities. The town’s approximately 24,000 residents enjoy the best of both worlds – situated conveniently close to an international metropolitan popula- tion of five million, yet far enough away from the hustle to appreciate the natural beauty of its southwestern Ontario location. Business View Magazine recently touched base with Tecumseh Mayor, Gary McNamara, and Manager of Strategic Initiatives, Lesley Racicot, for an update on how infrastructure, economic development, and sustainability have progressed since we last featured the Town in our March 2017 issue. The following is an edited transcript of that conversation: TECUMSEH, ONTARIO PROUD PAST, CONFIDENT FUTURE TECUMSEH, Ontario AT A GLANCE TECUMSEH, ONTARIO WHAT: A thriving town of 24,000 WHERE: On Lake St. Clair in southwestern Ontario WEBSITE: www.tecumseh.ca
