Cornwall - December 1, 2011 - It's December, which means it's time once again for the ever-popular Team Cornwall annual Year-in-Review meeting.

The meeting will be held on Friday, December 16, 2011 at 7:00 am, at Galaxy Cinemas on Second Street East. The highlight of the meeting will be a presentation by Mark Boileau, Manager of Cornwall Economic Development. Mr. Boileau will review the economic activity in the City that has occurred over the past 12 months. This year's presentation marks the 13th straight year that the City's Economic Development Department has delivered its report.

"It is always important to pause and recognize the hard work of so many of our corporate citizens," said Mark Boileau. "2011 has turned out to be a record year in several ways, with significant activity across the industrial, commercial and residential sectors."

Mayor Bob Kilger is expected to welcome a number of out-of-town guests to the meeting.

"Cornwall's success is turning heads in boardrooms across Canada," said Mayor Kilger. "There are a number of people from other parts of Canada and the USA who will be visiting Cornwall and taking this opportunity to get a closer look at what is happening here."

Team Cornwall Achievements
Along with the presentation from Cornwall Economic Development, Team Cornwall will also be highlighting its members' efforts and accomplishments over the past year.

"Team Cornwall works to support Cornwall Economic Development and its efforts to attract new investment to Cornwall," said Gilles Latour, Chair of Team Cornwall. "We always look forward to this meeting as a way of seeing exactly how we are doing and to hopefully get a glimpse of what is down the road."

Open to All
The meeting is open to all â€" regardless of Team Cornwall membership. A light breakfast will be served at 7am, followed by the regular meeting. Local band The Shiners will entertain the early morning crowd with songs from their newly released album, Not Alone.
