Do onto others what Deuteronomy

Being the solutions guy. If I were Mayor of TWNBMB. The question is how to use resources, present facilities to effectiveness. How to improve business without getting a bunch of old farts moving into town.

Here's what I would do. Instead of changing TWNBMB into a retirement community like the brain banks in Manitouwadge or Terrace Bay, I have the community change to be an educational centre in the midst of the Boreal Forest.

The idea comes from the deep south of the United States as it converted from an rural to an agrian technical based economy. As the family farms closed down local supply towns focused on turning into College Towns.

Indeed TWNBMB could change its name from "(that)" which was the name of the paper company, which deserted it in the worst economic situation, to "Goodchild's Bay".

It was the anglicized name of the place before the railway named it Peninsula. By restoring it to the original name, it will make good luck. TWNBMB carried the curse of a far away ancient battle where blood was spilled.

This would be the marketing reason as the community focusses on positioning itself as an education town. To accomplish this cheaply and efficiently, the semesters in Goodchild's Bay would be from May to the end of August and from September to mid December. The rest of the months would be hibernation.

Such an activity would be more cost effective, and attract more students and faculty. Creation of such a dedicated town could also mean lower tuition fees for poorer students.

The inactivity period from mid December to May means that students can get enough work in their hometowns without having to seek work in the competitive period of May to August. Having a working relationship with another University such as Lakehead University would mean that these students could compress their post secondary education from the standard four years for a basic to about three perhaps even two years.

This is important for medical students since they must go to university for almost a decade. By providing additional semesters these students could get to the finish line two years earlier than the standard educational format used now.

Having the season in summer means that international students would be more likely to come to town , because all the other universities are going through the summertime lull. The location of Goodchild's Bay, also means that international students could be attracted to the immediacy of the Canadian boreal forest unlike those universities located in larger cities.

There are other significant advantages for Goodchild's Bay to use that asymetrical working season. Great cost savings could be derived from having the facility mothballed during the winter months. Everything from the environment, energy, maintenance costs would be reduced which means a lower tuition for the attending students.

So Goodchild's Bay, formerly known as TWNBMB or "that town" would succeed if it worked to become a brand spanking new university town. Its new industry not resource, woodland, commercial or mining dependent but a long term economic strategy focussing on becoming an education centre.
