proponent and former city councillor Mark MacDonald. Speaking after the opening ceremony, he reinforced the magnitude of the project. “It’s a big thing. It’s a major thing,”he proud- ly proclaimed. A senior member of the RCAFA, Leonard Hart, 93, cut the ribbon to officially open the new docks. The 53-year association member said the docks are available “ for anybody who wants to tie up here.” Much of the funding for the project came from members of the association. The Wing also received assistance from the city of Cornwall, Mike Lamarche from Hec’s Tree Service and Gerry Rose from Demo Plus. The docks were donated to the RCAFA by the city for the project, MacDonald said. The stairs leading down the embankment to the docks were donated by Demo Plus, he said. The RCAFA recently raised alarm bells about its future after being unable to se- cure its traditional long-term lease from the St. Lawrence Seaway. Concerned about the future of the site, members have been working to raise the association’s visibility in the community. Zellers banner in its current form was not viable, particularly given the geographic footprint of the remaining locations,”Bourre said in an email to The Journal. Zellers is considering options for certain locations, including potentially rebrand- ing some stores, which will result in certain stores remaining open for the foreseeable future, Bourre said. She did not say whether the Cornwall store is a potential candidate for rebranding. The Cornwall outlet is one of 64 Zellers stores that do not have a previously sched- uled closure date or were not acquired by Target. An average Zellers would employ approximately 100 associates, Bourre said.

Cornwall RCAFA members have one more reason for people to visit the local Wing on Brookdale Avenue at the western edge of Lamoureux Park. Officials with RCAFA Wing 424 officially unveiled newly installed docks capable of mooring up to six boats during a ceremony at an inlet behind the Wing on Wednesday evening. “This is a great accomplishment for our association,” said President Ray Summers. “Our members worked hard to make sure that this project came to fruition.” The docks, estimated to cost about $10,000, were the culmination of four years of work by members of the local RCAFA Wing, comprising 14 meetings in total. And members hope they will the docks will bring more visitors, and hence, more rev- enue to the struggling venue. “The message – and the strong message is – the public is welcome,” stressed project

The Zellers outlet in Cornwall hangs in limbo after the company announced Thursday the company will close most of its Canadian stores by March 2013. “The company has been reviewing its strategic options for the brand since the completion of the acquisition agreement with Target Corp. in 2011 to purchase 189 Zellers leaseholds,” according to Zellers spokeswoman Tiffany Bourre. “After a lengthy review and numerous discussions with various parties it became apparent that continuing to operate the
