Walmart Planning on Opening 40 New Supercentres



Walmart says it will open 40 new Supercentres in the upcomingyear starting February 1st. The company says it will invest nearly $500 million in the expansion. The location of the stores has not yet been decided, but they will be introducing the new stores in Quebec and Manitoba for the first time!

At the end of this month, Wal-Mart will have 325 stores, including 124 supercentres. This is very exciting for places that have not had a Walmart before because it provides a very convenient one-stop shopping experience.

As you all know, Hurricane Igor caused a lot of heartache and distress to people in Newfoundland.

People in eastern Newfoundland have made more than $65 million in insurance claims related to Hurricane Igor, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada.

The claims are for damages caused by wind, sewer backups, fallen trees and above-ground leaks.

Bureau vice-president, Bill Adams, said insurance companies are concerned about the frequency of storms like Igor, and they may result in insurance premiums rising.

My parent's house during the storm.

Unfortunately my parent's home was affected by this storm. The basement was completely ruined and it was devistating to watch. Sadly some people lost their entire home and had to start from scratch. It was a hard time but everyone worked together and got through it.
