 Good
afternoon. I am very pleased to be here to celebrate the grand
opening of Mircom’s new home in the City of Vaughan.
I wish to congratulate Tony Falbo and
his staff, and the many people involved in building this
state-of-the-art facility.
Over his 40 years in business, Tony
Falbo has shown a strong commitment to quality production and
safety. Mircom is a great example of a locally-owned enterprise that
has flourished in our business environment. I am proud to say that
your company represents our city very well.
One of my most enjoyable duties as the
Mayor of Vaughan is to welcome new businesses to our City and, like
today with Mircom, participate in expansion celebrations.
Vaughan is Canada’s fastest-growing city
and this means there are new opportunities for businesses to
succeed. Our spectacular rate of population growth has been equalled
by the pace of new construction. For each of the past four years,
Vaughan has broken the one-billion dollar mark in new construction.
This year, about one-half of all new construction is in the
commercial, industrial and institutional sector. This is an
indication of a very healthy local economy.
In the final analysis, however, people
make the difference. Our business people are members of a community,
and this business community is proud to be part of the “City Above
Toronto”. It is, indeed, this “community spirit” that makes Vaughan
great.
I am proud to welcome Tony Falbo and
Mircom to this new location as valuable members of our community. I
wish you continued success in the future. Thank you.
