‘the change which is taking place in
“Sidney and environs and. which will
become more marked in the next few
| years.
_ The breakwater- harbour waterfront
project has moved out of the area of
speculation and into the realm of reality
= and about time. It’s not exactly a
bird-in-the-hand yet but it’s on its way.
The change it will. make in the
municipality may well be massive. And it

“pointed out for potential developers to
start miustering their resources.
~~ Ald. Martin has hada lot to do with
‘this development but he is an end link in
a ‘long chain of people who have worked
~ onthe’ development over the years.
