Grand Opening of Leamington Municipal Building Invited guests enjoyed an official Grand Opening of the Leamington Municipal Building on Thursday, December 1. Construction began on the 39,200 square feet state-ofthe-art structure in January 2010 and was completed in April 2011. Original estimates pegged the building at $12 million, but came in under budget with the final price tag at just over $10 million. The Municipality of Leamington took advantage of the Building Canada Fund (Infrastructure Stimulous Fund) to construct the building. The federal and provincial governments contributed 1/3 funding each towards the project for a total of approximately $7 million. Leamington CAO Bill Marck welcomed the crowd of approximately 100 and introduced Paul Petahtegoose, Ceremony Maker from Caldwell First Nation who performed a traditional smudging ceremony. Unfortunately both MP Dave Van Kesteren and MPP Rick Nicholls were unable to attend. Leamington Mayor John Paterson acknowledged the work, dedication and vision of the previous Council and admistration who supported the new building. AT RIGHT: Mayor John Paterson placed a time capsule into the wall of the main entrance of the building. BELOW: Members of Leamington Council cut the ribbon to officially open the building. From left to right, are Counciloor John Jacobs, Deputy-Mayor Charlie Wright, Mayor John Paterson, Councillors Larry Verbeke, Chris Chopchik and Rick Atkin. Absent was Councillor Hilda MacDonald.
