"This is the economic benefit that I forecasted when Owen Sound twinned last year with our sister municipality of Dayi County in the central Chinese province of Sichuan," Mayor Haswell said today.

Mr. Fang signed the agreement on behalf the Chinese government twinning Owen Sound with our sister municipality in Sichuan province last year, Mayor Haswell noted.

Mayor Haswell and Owen Sound economic development staff will travel to China with a small group of Ontario mayors; the Chinese will pick up the costs of the trade mission, excepting the air fare.

"Chinese trade with Ontario is worth $10 billion a year, Mayor Haswell said. "The Counsel General understands that we are open for business here in the Scenic City."
