Tuesday's unveiling reflected on all victims of abuse committed by intimate partners. 23-year-old Brady was found dead inside a Seventh Street Midland apartment complex, where police confirmed her boyfriend, Justus Chester, was later taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder. Julia's loved ones told CTV News back in March that she lived in the apartment unit with the accused. The two started dating in the spring after meeting on the dating app Tinder. Two months later she was killed. Julia Brady A purple lumber bench stands along the Midland harbor honouring, Julia Brady, a local woman who was tragically murdered earlier this year.

The Purple Bench Program launched back in 2015 all began after the tragic death of Barbara Baillie, who was murdered by her husband in 1990. Huronia Transition Homes made this project entirely possible. Through the 2025 Town Park Bench Program, Midland staff were able to secure purple composite lumber as a pilot to test the feasibility. As part of this tribute, the team also secured two purple Muskoka chairs to accompany the memorial. The project was revealed during a community event where families and supporters came together to raise awareness and show their solidarity. With files from CTV's Mike Arsalides.

Midland Unveils Costco's Biggest Texas Store

Costco (NASDAQ:COST) just opened its biggest Texas warehouse yet in Midland, and the turnout was massive. Shoppers lined up early to explore everything from bulk snacks to oversized furniture, proof that the membership model still resonates. This year alone, Costco has been on a roll, launching new locations from Brentwood and Highland in California to Sharon, Massachusetts, and Stuart, Florida. Internationally, fans in Japan and Australia got their own warehouses in Minami Alps and Ardeer, and there's more on the way. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Sign with COST. Altogether, Costco now runs over 900 warehouses worldwide, more than 600 of them in the U.S. For the fiscal year ending this August, the company plans to open 29 new stores, with about ten of those sprouting up outside America in spots like South Korea, Sweden, Canada, Mexico and Japan. The strength of Costco's approach comes down to its membership fees$65 a year for Gold Star and $130 for Executiveand the promise of everyday low prices. Even as other retailers wrestle with inflation and shifting habits, Costco members keep flocking back for bulk deals. Looking ahead, executives say they want to keep adding roughly 25 to 30 warehouses each year. That steady pace gives Costco room to test both established markets and new territories, all while keeping its shelves stocked and its members happy. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Mayor clears air on Midland Bay Landing as ‘misinformation swirls around on social media'

The Midland waterfront along the shores of Georgian Bay is pictured. As speculations continue to spiral online, Mayor Bill Gordon is setting the record straight about the future of Midland Bay Landing - the town's long-anticipated waterfront redevelopment project. 'With misinformation swirling around on social media, it is important that you know the facts,' Gordon said in a Saturday release. The 40-acre parcel of land, once used for industrial purposes, sits along the town's scenic Georgian Bay shoreline. The goal is to transform it into a vibrant, accessible, and pedestrian-friendly neighbourhood that connects with the town's revitalized downtown and historic harbour. Getting there hasn't been an easy process. The town has twice tried to secure a development partner, both times lacking success. 'Well, the first time, it's almost been a sad joke,' Gordon admitted to CBC Ontario Morning. 'We just didn't have the wherewithal to complete the task.' He said. 'Last time, we worked really hard with the community through COVID to get a master plan for the property, and that masterplan over time because it took so long to get things going -especially with the pandemic it just didn't resonate with the community.'

Mayor Gordon emphasized the importance of public involvement throughout the process of this huge development. 'We took the time to speak with residents and hear their feedback.' After public engagement, Gordon said that the message was clear. People still want parks and recreational space and the town says they are committed to making that a part of this project. The town recently launched a formal Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI), now open to developers with creative ideas to reimagine the site. Submissions are due by August 8 at 2 p.m. 'We're hoping to see a fresh, innovative approach to planning this site—one that guarantees public access along the entire waterfront and includes outdoor park or recreation space,' stated Mayor Bill Gordon, adding developers would have the 'freedom to explore' design ideas. 'We need to partner with a developer that's not only going to help pay for this parkland but also help commercialize and capitalize on this amazing waterfront and our shipping industry,' he continued in the CBC interview. Despite delays, Gordon remains confident 'I'm still super optimistic. We're a little behind, about nine months later than we wanted to be. But losing two councillors this term slowed things down, and replacing them took time,' Gordon said. He stressed that the entire process is being carried out openly. 'There's no secrecy. The whole process is being done in a transparent manner.' Chief Administrative Officer Rhonda Bunn echoed the mayor's sentiment. 'We've already laid the groundwork for success,' she said. Bunn added the municipality had already laid the groundwork by investing over $14 million into infrastructure upgrades along King Street, connecting the harbour to the downtown core. Midland Bay Landing has long been seen as a cornerstone of the town's future. With the right developer and continued public involvement the Town hopes to finally bring this long-awaited vision to life. Third time's a charm. 'This is the way to do it and our objective it to have an RFP awarded with the community help,' Gordon said. To learn more about the redevelopment, click here.
