    Parsons says there are several infrastructure projects that will continue this summer such as the completion of the Deep Gulch project and the replacement of a retaining wall in Curling

    Corner Brook Mayor Jim Parsons is anxious for the opening of the new Recreational Centre. The $25 million facility is due to open this September. The Grenfell Pool closed in 2015 and Parsons says the city has been without since. He says another big highlight for Corner Brook this year will be the opening of the newly constructed Western Memorial Regional Hospital. Parsons  says the city is a regional centre for the whole west coast. He says this will mean a lot to the recruitment and retention of health workers. The $750 million dollar health facility is about 600,000 square feet and stands seven stories tall.
