Greg Ashby

Greg Ashby (L), Don Gleed, and Linda Moore

Greg Ashby visited the club. He was speaking on behalf of GO Transit. Greg informed us of the changes coming to GO. There is a new GO station planned for Bowmanville and Courtice. At first the stations would run at a reduced capacity, but would ramp up activity as demand dictated. As well Greg inform the club of the changes coming to the existing Oshawa GO station and the addition of another at Ritson Rd. There is also a new train depot coming to Whitby this would create upwards of 600 new jobs. The whole project is expected to exceed the current price tag of $600 million.

The draw this week was for $3,172.00. Fred D drew the 7 of diamonds. The crowd went nuts again. The pot lives for another week. Better luck next time!!! Remember you can't win if you don't buy a ticket. Good luck!
