Bullet News GODERICH – Goderich Town Council recognized two local businessmen for more than 40 years of combined service to the Goderich Business Improvement Area today.

Dan Stringer and Tom Fincher were presented with certificates of appreciation for their volunteer efforts. Stringer owned Rieck’s Pharmacy from 1978 to 2001 and remains employed part-time as a pharmacist at Rexall PharmaPlus. Fincher owns Fincher’s in Goderich and Kincardine.

“Many years of hard work by these two gentlemen,” said Mayor Deb Shewfelt. “I think to run a business and also to partake [in volunteer work] is a lot of work and we appreciate the years that have been put in.”

Stringer said, “It’s all about collaboration, co-operation and teamwork and if you don’t have that, you don’t have anything. This is not just for Tom and me, this is for everyone who works hard on the BIA.”

Fincher said the Goderich BIA and town officials worked to accomplish things as a group.

The Goderich BIA has about 200 members in a designated downtown area of Goderich.
