It was exciting to be part of Cogeco’s re-branding event yesterday as they unveiled their new logo and direction for the community network going forward. The event had many dignitaries and people involved with the television channel at the event. I was asked by Producer Stuart Aker to say a few words about the new show and the inspiration behind it and I am excited to be part of the Cogeco family of community shows and stand beside some of the long running shows in the network. Thank you to Cogeco for allowing me to be part of the family. First show airs tonight at 7:00pm on channel 700HD or 24 on the old cable box. If you are in Halton I hope you catch it. Here are few picture from the event.

This is National Trucking Week so I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all of those involved in the transportation industry. Many of you I am proud to call friends and I respect the people in this industry in so many ways. You have taught me lessons that have guided me for a lifetime. You keep our lives moving with goods and services, but you also teach us teamwork and how to get a very important job done.
Thank you,
Bruce
