Greetings Everyone,

I think many of you know that my brother is Executive Director and Curator of the Elgin Military Museum in St. Thomas, Ontario. They have received a large government grant to get the cold war submarine, HMCS Ojibwa and convert it to a museum. Port Stanley, while not the only option is a very good one but the editor of the Port Stanley News has not been very complimentary and it is creating excuses for delay. Delay is very detrimental to the project because the sub must get through the seaway before it closes for the winter. The grant expires next March 31st before the seaway opens again. I don't know if the newspaper just likes to oppose for the sake of raising issues or whether she does not like the project or many other projects that would bring anything new to the village. In any case, she is running a poll in the Port Stanley News and I would very much appreciate it if you would vote Yes. This is not something confined to villagers as it has important ramifications for the whole county. The Museum received the grant because their business plans forecast up to 40 full and part time jobs in a very depressed area. The proposed submarine museum affects both villager and visitor. So, if you have a moment, please register a yes vote at Port Stanley News

The voting button is on the left side of, and half way down, the webpage: Click here.

Thanks so very much,
Catherine Raven
