Is this fair?? I think not....

You could always get the operators together and file a Class Action Suit against the goverment, this will get there attention real quick. You may even recoup some $$$$$ for your operations.

The Eco-Center has a booze licence which comes with government projects. If the little business trys to get a liguor licence it costs about $10,000.00 now. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN AUDIT ON ALL MEMBERS OPERATING THE ECO-CENTER.

I would agree that competing with a government sponsored program is a no win situation for the small businesses in the area... however I do take exception to the comment about the Chip Wagon in Elk Lake... I thought they were great!

This situation seems to my anyway as being very simliar to the CBC competing with private broadcasters for the Olympics etc... no really their mandate now is it!?

I moved to Matachewan 3 years ago from Alberta because I liked the town & people. I have eaten in the chip stand also in Elk Lake & the place is very clean with great fast food. I talked to someone there & was told the chip stands sales went down very baddly when the Eco-Center started serving & advertizing meals. The chip stand is a small family operation which might not be around soon due to no government money in their hands like Pam at the Eco-Center. They are totally greedy at the Center. Like I have said before " IT'S TIME FOR AN AUDIT ON THE CENTER & ALL THE PROPLE INVOLVED" THERE IS SOMETHING VERY FISHY HERE & THE PUBLIC DESERVES ANSWERS & NUMBERS.
