Port Hope

So that was one of my target areas.

And then we're very familiar with just east of Toronto, like the Port Hope, Cobourg, Colborne area.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, I spent... my husband and I both spent s- time at, at school in that area.

So, um, a real estate agent of mine, uh, she sent me a listing for a building in Port Hope.

So I said, "Okay, let's go." We, we ran the numbers before I went.

They looked pretty good.

And turns out that that property that I was looking at, the owner of the property, the seller, had m- a bunch of different properties they were trying to offload.

The company noted Train 41 still offers early morning service.

It departs Ottawa at 4.56 a.m. and stops in Kingston, Napanee, Belleville, Cobourg and Port Hope before arriving in Toronto at 9.37.

The revised schedule will result in an average of one fewer daily train between Ottawa and Toronto.

Belleville is not the only eastern Ontario municipality objecting.

He's going to make a case that says Wesleyville is going to be on the agenda for Northumberland County Council and all the other municipal councils for the next four years.

That's not just Port Hope, but all six other municipalities.

He predicts the planning and local property taxes will be impacted at the very least.

That's right, property taxes.

So let's start there.

Why did you make such a request?

i think one of the reasons we made a request of that nature is that from our perspective the impact of what wesleyville will be is is is is so significant and and and very much respect the fact that the negotiations that and the the the the primary party involved is the municipality of port hope they are the host community However, the implications of a project of this size and scope will ripple through Northumberland and it will vary from municipality to municipality.

Maybe just as an illustration, it would be much like throwing a rock into some water and seeing the ripple effect.

Um, you know, unapologetically, we wanna make sure that Saskatchewan jobs are going to be, uh, maximized in, in the context of a, of a very large and significant investment.

Um, you know, I think it'd be fair to say that a lot of folks in Saskatchewan, me included, um, you know, really feel we lost an enormous opportunity in the, uh, late 1970s, early '80s, when, um, when Cameco actually put their processing facility in Port Hope, Ontario, because the government of the day at that point didn't want there to be any uranium value added in Saskatchewan.

I think that was an enormous missed opportunity, and we are not going to miss another opportunity like that going into the future.

Is, is that something that is, has the ship sailed or is there room, do you think, Minister, for some sort of refining or enrichment-

It's extremely critical.

Kingston and this corridor, this 401 corridor that includes Belleville, Brockville, Cornwall, all along the 401 to Oshawa and Port Hope and through there, that connectivity into our major corridors is essential.

And you think we're in the center of the hub of our economic growth.

forces here.

I'm just looking forward to seeing who's next.

Rob from Port Hope, you're on Blue Jays Talk.

What's up, Rob?

Well, I love what you said, Jeff.

My last few orders.

So Australia- Missouri, Port Hope, Canada, Switzerland, Japan.

So a lot of international right now.

Wisconsin, Guelph, Canada, Cambridge, Canada.

Yeah.

And then, so then, then you made it, then you made it back to Ottawa and something dawned on me is, you know, the day you're leaving and hitting the 401 and then turning North around Port Hope is that you're looking into the rear view mirror.

You might've been the last person ever to see Lake Ontario.

That's incredible.

So, Julie, you are working on this production as the apprentice director alongside Stephanie Graham.

But you are no stranger to Come From Away, having recently performed in the Capitol Theatre production in Port Hope only two months ago.

Last month.

Last

For you, Julie, what is it like approaching Come From Away as an apprentice director compared to your experience performing at the Capitol Theatre? Is there anything that you feel like you're able to bring from your experience enmeshed in the cast as Beverly to the work that you're doing with Stephanie?

I mean, like Nick said, it's a completely different group of people.

And so the alchemy here is different than it was in Port Hope and my role is different.

I am astonished by how amazingly easy the show looks.
