We are in a Very Different Spot - Finance Minister Wiseman on Budget 2015

Finance Minister Wiseman summed up the Province's 2015 Budget reality succinctly: “We are in a very different spot”. In a period in which oil is less than half the value than it was a year earlier, “different spot” is may be a bit of an understatement. Things have changed a lot in a year and the minister and the government is facing some serious challenges. Minister Wiseman talk to the Clarenville Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday evening focused exclusively on how and why the government is planning to deal with the downturn – while trying to have a minimal impact on the economy. In his address he covered the following topics – each of which spoke to the basic principles government has looked at in its crafting the budget: · A Culture of Cost Management A Refocus our Health System A Refocus of the College of the North Atlantic A Focus on long range planning for infrastructure with 5 year planning A Readjustment

The Bare Mountain Centennial Star - College Community Involvement

Bare Mountain is one of the prominent features of the Clarenville's skyline. It towers some 156 meters above Clarenville’s harbour . You can reach the peak of Bare Mountain relatively easily along the Bare Mountain hiking trail that can be accessed at numerous points in the town. At the top, you can overlook most of the town, Random Island and Smith Sound as it leads into Trinity Bay. Beyond Clarenville residents, people are familiar with Bare Mountain because of the prominence of the large star that sits at its top. Each Christmas season the star is lit - making it visible from the Highway many kilometers beyond Clarenville's boundaries. The Bare Mountain Star was a 1967 Centennial project of the Town of Clarenville. The original Centennial Star was designed, welded, wired and assembled by students and faculty in drafting, carpentry, electrical, welding and pipefitting programs at Clarenville campus. They even helped the Town erect the structure.
