Niagara - 5

Four art department staffers in the Niagara area were painted out of the Sun Media picture yesterday, says a tipster.

Gone are two in St. Catharines, one in Welland and another in Niagara Falls, says the tipster.

Any names or years of service?

Meanwhile, another source says entertainment/arts reporter Lori Littleton of the St. Catharines Standard has notified local arts groups she is gone from the paper this week.

No reason for her departure, but one tipster says it was her decision.

  2. The same company that ships its jobs to India wants public money to build an arena for its hockey team. That's just great.

  3. Do we know for certain if the work went to India or did it go to non-union in-house workers?
