It will be home to the fi rst outlet stores in Canada for Cole Haan, Colum- bia Sportswear, Icebreaker, Kate Spade New York, Polo Ralph Lauren, Restoration Hardware and Ted Baker London. Kendra McCutcheon, 20, of Georgetown was at the fair looking for a part-time job. "There are some lineups," said McCutcheon, who is hoping to work at a sports store. "The popular stores are getting huge lineups." Kathryn Chandler, 28, also of Georgetown, was at the fair hoping to secure a full- time position. "I'm looking at anything at the moment," said Chan- dler, a single mom. "So far, so good." Rabbi Kazi, 19, of Milton was waiting in line to apply for a position at American Ea- gle Outfi tters and 17-year-old Georgetown residents Carlos Preza and Kieran Smerdon were hoping to fi nd part-time work at Nike, adidas or Bose. Johnson said job seekers came to the fair from all over. She said there was even a job hunter from Port Colborne. "We had no idea what to expect," said Johnson of the turnout. "There's some- thing wonderful about just going into it and hoping for the best and having it come together." Jean Guinup, vice-president, Market- ing-Northeast Region for Premium Out- lets, said the job fair was "as least as good or better" then similar job fairs they had hosted in the U.S. The Halton Hills centre is the fi rst Pre- mium Outlets to open in Canada. Shelley Edwards, district manager for Skechers in Canada said the job fair and turnout had been "fantastic." "It's been a really good format," she said. Kim Smith, director of Human Re- sources with Columbia Sportswear for Canada, also called the fair "fantastic." She said in the fi rst three hours they had interviewed 65 people for approximately 40 sales associate jobs. Candidates they were interested in went through two interviews right at the fair, and if they made it to a third interview, that was planned for the next day said Smith. Liz Bauman, vice- president with HBC Outlets, which is open- ing its fi rst outlet in To- ronto Premium Outlets, said the fair was going "extremely well." She estimated in the fi rst three hours they had met with approximate- ly 100 candidates for 40 full and part-time positions. The Bay outlet will be the centre's largest at approximately 25,000 sq. ft. offering men's, women's, children's fashion and accessories. She said it will feature "familiar brand names that HBC customers have come to know and love," and offer the same in- store service they fi nd in Bay stores. Construction on the centre is on track for the August 1 opening. Thursday af- ternoon the centre was busy with con- struction activity. The buildings are up, some of the fi nal exterior paint fi nishes are complete and work continues on the store interiors. The food court is en- closed and will feature both indoor seat- ing and a patio. The racetrack design is open-air with a covering over portions of the walkway.

About 8:10 p.m. a 45-year-old man was jogging in the area of Wallace St. and Mc- Donald Blvd. when he was approached by a man asking for change. The jogger indi- cated he didn't have any and continued on his way. A short time later he was grabbed from behind and punched in the face.
