CORNWALL, Ontario – City of Cornwall Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Tracey Bailey explained the municipality’s current debt situation to Council during budget deliberations on Monday, Feb. 1.
As of Jan. 2021, the City of Cornwall currently had $39,799,200 of debt on the books, with Bailey stating that the city would add an additional $22,775,000 in 2021.

The larva will still be in a tree after you cut it down, even when it looks completely dead and ready to burn. So then you transport it to Montana, for example â those larvae become adults and just travel like wild fire. said Arborist Trevor Peterson with Butte-Silver Bow Parks and Recreation.
