Dairy farmer turned Liberal MP vows to be voice for tariff-hit Quebec region

Newly elected Liberal MP Daniel Gobeil says his experience as a dairy farmer and agricultural leader will help him be a voice in Ottawa for a Quebec region on the front lines of the Canada-U.S. trade war.

With a rising student population and an expanding campus, the current water tower was constructed in 1955, replacing the original tower that had stood for nearly five decades. The water tower, 110 ft high and holding 104,000 gallons, has become a familiar landmark for generations of NSAC students and alumni. The tower was not only a landmark, but an important part of the campus water system. The elevated tank provided water-storage capacity for the campus, including equalization and emergency
