Timelines are everything and when we are talking about the area’s first modern hotel and local events looking to take advantage of that, it’s not an exception. People are ready to have the services of the incoming Holiday Inn Express on Centre Road help them with weddings, sports tournaments, and other events hopefully starting with the planned opening of the hotel at the end of April.
That includes the Association of Ontario Road Supervisors (AORS) Municipal Public Works Trade Show happening for the first time at the Gemini Sportsplex June 7-8 bringing in over 200 vendors inside and outside and drawing about 2000 people to the area.
Adelaide Metcalfe Mayor Susan Clarke says “I think it’s nice to have it in our backyard, and it is good for spin-offs: businesses and the hotel being there, the restaurants in our district, everyone will benefit from the increased traffic for sure.”
