NIPISSING FIRST NATION— You might see quite a few Sidney Crosby hats this winter as the swag was flying off the new counter along with hot coffee and fresh timbits at the new Tim Hortons between North Bay and Sturgeon Falls on Beaucage Road during the grand opening.

In her speech, owner Lorie Young says the dust is starting to settle and things are falling into place since the soft opening of her venture about a month earlier.

“Fifteen months ago, we stood on this very spot and we did a ground-breaking ceremony. Those 15 months ago, it still didn’t feel like the future but now looking at this beautiful building and this complex it’s finally real,” Young recalls. “Opening a Tim Hortons, as we all know, has been a lifelong dream of mine. To finally see it come to fruition is absolutely amazing.”
