It certainly is nice to see the old Daisy Mart building being renovated in the village. I stopped in to ask the contractors what would be housed there and was told it will be offices, likely relating to businesses supporting the Bruce Power Major Component Replacement (MCR) project. It's great to have businesses open in Tiverton, since others have already established offices in Underwood and Port Elgin. The Old Blackberry Tales building has also been converted to offices.
