In regard to the massive blunder that occurred when line painters from Guelph changed the traffic pattern at Albert and East Streets back in 2015 and city officials endorsed the mistake, there might now be light at the end of the tunnel. Chief Administrative Officer Malcolm White told me in an email the way the lane configuration changed “is not the best practice to follow” and says there is agreement a further review is necessary. This, of course, is welcome news to me after six years of railing about the changes made by the line painters from Guelph who, instead of following the lines that had been there for about 50 years, totally went off script.

PUC Distribution announced today that the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) has approved its application to build the $34 million Sault Smart Grid Project.
A news release issued today by PUC Distribution Inc. states that this project is the first of its kind in Canada and is expected to impact how other utilities across the country look at smart grid systems.
The project will not only help customers save on their monthly bill but it will also help the utility better prepare for emergencies such as black outs and storms and through its “self-healing” technology reduce the duration and number of outages, said PUC President and CEO Rob Brewer in the release.
