Darryl Mack and Sylvain Blouin spoke to council at the March 8 meeting, with Mack appearing in council chambers and Blouin speaking via video feed from Edmonton. In a presentation that lasted about 40 minutes, they spoke about the challenges they have faced over the past eight years, and answered questions from council members. “A lot of things that people don’t understand about this city is it’s always been a strong place to do business, and we want to make sure, somehow, we can get this business off the ground,” Mack told council. In a letter to council, Blouin wrote the lots adjacent to their property in the Glen Peterson Industrial Park are now available for $1. They paid $590,105, plus GST, for their parcel.
