Saint John is slowly climbing out of a very difficult economic downturn according to Mayor Mel Norton. He's in Toronto speaking to high powered business types which former Premier Frank McKenna and Maple Leaf Foods President Scott McCain organised.
Norton describes the last few years as being a dark period for the city but he sees a turnaround happening with development occurring in the north end with Shannex in Millidgeville and a new 'Y" on Churchill Boulevard along with the Coast Guard site by Market Square.
