It has been common knowledge that de Havilland Aircraft of Canada, Limited is seeking a suitable location for a new plant.

Submission Originally, industrial represen- tatives from this area contacted de Havilland and the area was invited to make a submission and present a proposal to de Havilland. At de Havilland's request, the proposal submitted was brief and to the point, but it contained the most relevant information about the area and its potential as a suitable location for the new de Havilland plant. The area recommended to de Havilland for consideration was the present site of the Huronia Airport, with the submission recommending that adequate additional lands could be acquired and additional runway and accessory facilities could be added to the Huronia Airport to make that site attractive to de Havilland. Information In generating the information and writing the report, Tiny, Penetanguishene, and Midland all cooperated, with Reeve Morris Darby, Mayor Gil Robillard, and Mayor Moreland Lynn attending planning meetings to draft the brief. Senior staff from each municipality were deeply involved in the providing of information and in reviewing the drafts of the proposal eventually submitted to de Havilland. Proposal The proposal was delivered to de Havilland Aircraft by Wally Cun- ningham, the development com- missioner for Town of Midland. Communication with de Havilland had been through D. B. Annan, senior vice-president of the corporation. The submission was acknowledged and appreciation extended by de Havilland through a letter from the Tiny, Penetang, Midland document seeks to locate de Havilland Aircraft at airport company dated Sept. 4.
