On Thursday morning, I attended a Truro and District Chamber of Commerce breakfast meeting which featured updates from three of Central Nova Scotia’s municipal leaders.

Colchester Mayor, Bob Taylor, got the event off to a great start when he proclaimed “Regional cooperation is alive and well.”  That seemed to set the tone for what was to follow.

A friend and I parked our car near the Metro Centre and walked toward the waterfront for a bite to eat. Then, we climbed back up to the Metro Centre.

It was almost eight o’clock and there was no one to be seen. They were all inside the building…waiting. Just as my friend and I approached the “stage” entrance to the Metro Centre, we watched in awe as the door of a tour bus parked across the street opened.
