Today, Diane Finley, Member of Parliament for Haldimand-Norfolk and Minister Responsible for Southwestern Ontario, along with Liz Sandals, Minister of Education and Member of Provincial Parliament for Guelph and municipal representatives, announced the opening of the new cargo facility at the John C.
