     Dear  Mr.  Legere:

     We  believe  that  providing information to the public about government and
private  sector  activity  is  an  important  element  in  influencing  economic
development  in  Atlantic  Canada.  Highlighting  news  about  local  business
development  projects  helps increase awareness about how business and community
activity  contributes  to  job  creation  and  economic  growth.

     I wish to draw your attention  to the communications clauses in your recent
letter  of  offer  for government assistance. They allow for general and funding
information  about your project(s) to become accessible to the public and media.
Your  letter  of  offer  indicates  that  ACOA  has  the first right to publicly
announce  funding to your project(s) through a news release or other promotional
activity  such  as  a  sod-turning  or  official  opening.

     The  attached  "fact  sheet"  contains  information  extracted  from  your
project(s)  files  and  is used as the basis for preparing an announcement.  The
information  may  be  used in other public materials.  Please let us know if any
changes  are  required  in  this  document.

     If  you  already have plans to carry out a promotional activity, please let
me  know.  The  communications  clauses  require  that you notify this office at
least  21  days  in  advance of any planned event or promotional activity.  This
allows for our input and planning for a federal representative to participate in
your  special  activity.

     We  look  forward to discussing any promotional activities or announcements
that  may  be  planned, and answering any questions about communications matters
related  to  your  project.  Please contact the undersigned at (902) 566-7491 or
