Times CORRECTION
In the Dec. 7 edition of the Strathmore Times the article Town plans new building states: “Seniors housing is
also high on council’s list of strategic priorities and the town is in discussions of using the current town hall,
which sits on a 4.5-acre parcel of land and currently contains mould, asbestos and structural issues, for pos-
sible future senior housing.” The statement should’ve clarified that future senior housing could be one of the
community benefits that the current existing town hall site could be used for, and not the building.
We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
