Cobourg Contemplates a Mission to China

In City Hall

Cecilia Nasmith/Today’s Northumberland
Prior to his retirement, Mayor Gil Brocanier will be taking a trip to China.
Brocanier made the announcement at Monday’s council meeting, saying the contingent would include Deputy Mayor John Henderson and manufacturing-attraction officer T.J. Flynn. The trip will run Oct. 10 through 18.
This is an iniative of the William Academy, a Toronto-based private school that purchased the former Cobourg District Collegiate Institute West building. Their plan is to twin Cobourg with a city near Beijing, and possibly set up an ice-hockey training centre.
The entire trip is financed by William Academy, Brocanier said, with no cost to the taxpayer.
And in case there is an economic-development opportunity to the trip, he added, Flynn will be along.
