Corner Brook Public Library Announcement

Posted on October 5, 2011 by Gary

The Corner Brook Public Library will be closing temporarily starting Tuesday, Oct. 11th, 2011, in order to move to our new location in the Corner Brook City Hall building.

This means our last day open and operating in the Sir Richard Squires Building will be Saturday, Oct. 8th, 2011.

If anyone has library materials that are due back while we are closed, don’t worry, all fines for those items will be waived once we are open and operating in the new location. So hold onto your materials until that time, the book drop will be closed after Saturday Oct. 8th.

Corner Brook Transit NextBus Update

Posted on September 8, 2011 by Gary

A number of people have been asking for a little more information regarding the launching of the NextBus Corner Brook Transit Trial.

You can check out the City of Corner website here and here and you can also check out the CornerBrook.com here and their very own transit map based upon Google maps here.

NextBus Update

What I can tell you is that two Corner Brook City buses have the NextBus system installed right now and they are currently collecting data. We are installing the rest of the NextBus systems over the next couple weeks.

The NextBus system requires at least a couple weeks of collecting data to improve accuracy before we go live to the public. The NextBus system will become ‘smarter over time’ as it collects more data.

We are hoping to have the entire system live within the next four weeks or so.

The City is trying to set up information sessions in September that will be targeted at students and the hospital.

If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

Posted on August 1, 2011 by Gary

Here is a brief viedeo of the 2011 Corner Brook Triathlon.

This particular video was taken on the Glynmill Inn Pond here in Corner Brook.

I’ve lived in Corner Brook for a very long time but this is the first time I got to the Glynmill Inn Pond from this perspective.
