Rio Tinto rep adds sparkle to Mayor’s Address
The presence of a representative from Rio Tinto added some sparkle to the Mayor’s annual State of the City Address Thursday.
Greg Dionne invited Julia Ewing to join him at the head table for the luncheon. She is contracted as a community liaison with the mining giant’s exploratory efforts at the Star Diamond deposit at Fort a la Corne.
Ewing did not have the authority to speak on behalf of Rio Tinto, but her presence added an air of positivity regarding the potential implications for the project among the 300 attendees at the Chamber of Commerce event.
