Industry Canada OKs Vidéotron tower

According to the Ottawa Citizen, Industry Canada quietly granted Vidéotron a licence to build the 25 storey telecommunications tower on ch Elm, early in November. An official of Industry Canada referred all questions to the FAQ section of their website. (I could find nothing on this particular tower or decision.)


If you have any more information or better links, please comment or add them. Thanks.

PROLONGEMENT DE LA ROUTE VERTE
La Route Verte, le plus grand réseau cyclable en Amérique du Nord, prend de l’expansion. La députée Charlotte L’Écuyer et le ministre responsable de la région de l’Outaouais, Norman MacMillan, ont dévoilé hier une aide financière de 32 000 $ à la municipalité de Pontiac, pour la réalisation de deux portions du sentier, qui relieront le réseau cyclable de la région à celui de Gatineau, et donc au reste du Québec. Les travaux doivent commencer dès cet automne dans le premier secteur (Quyon), et au printemps dans le second (Breckenridge). La Route Verte est un réseau de 4 700 km de voies cyclables, traversant 321 municipalités et 16 régions du Québec.
