Tecumseh Adopts Ont. SAR Resolution

"THAT the Town of Tecumseh support the March 7, 2012 Resoltion No. 57-12 passed by the Council of the County of Essex petitioning the Province of Ontario to maintain its support and commitment to the horse-racing industry in Ontario in order to preserve and enhance this historic industry…"
