London: The Mayor’s meeting to discuss jobs in London got off to bigger start this morning than expected as new job announcements from Peter White, the President of LEDC were combined with an announcement by representatives of ExpressPlus, a logistics and custom brokers business from Toronto, of their plans to locate in London and bring with them a projected 100 jobs. Total new job numbers came in at more than 300.
Talk of Closing Food Banks Becomes Absolute Nonsense!
Mayor Joe Fontana's "Job's Summit" held on Friday August 13th was a hopeful sign for Londoners who are unemployed or underemployed. It's also a sign of hope for those juggling two or three part-time jobs and family responsibilities.
Mayor Joe and those he assembled may not have the answers today, but his leadership showed that he could assemble those in Leadership in London in short order to examine the problem closely.
I first saw Joe Fontana when he was a Cabinet Minister in the Chretien Government and Martin Governments in the early part of the last decade. He had the same energy and enthusiasm on every issue that he tackled.
He did some really good work on housing and homelessness in 2004-2005. Results came, very slowly, but new housing was built through federal-provincial-municipal partnerships. He got the job done.
