It’s the memo dated May 29. Presumably, the information is given from Bombardier to Regional Staff, then they have to recompile it for the release, which likely takes a few days.

Right. From the dates, it looks like BBD would have prepared it sometime between 18 May and 23 May.

Quote:Resumes pour in for LRT driver positons
WATERLOO REGION — More than 3,000 people have applied to become an LRT driver in Waterloo Region.
The online posting, seeking 39 drivers who will earn $62,000-$65,000 a year, only went up two weeks ago.
There were so many applications, the job posting is closing sooner than originally planned.
"Due to an overhwhelming response, Keolis Grand River will be closing the request for LRT Operator applications as of Monday June 4th at 4 p.m." read an email from spokesperson Lauren Reaman.

Wha? I don't live in Woolwich, but I don't think I've ever heard the second "w". Only "Wool-itch".
I have lived in Waterloo region all my life, and my relatives are all local Amish mennonites. I never heard "Wool-itch" until I was an adult and I heard about the place in England.
Next shibboleth, how do you pronounce "Wellesley" ;-)

Definitely Wellz-ley. I have heard "Well-es-ley", but I think it was ironical.
As for the latter, I say "Wye-mar".

Can we please break off all these posts about pronunciation as a separate thread? Thank you.

Wellz-ley and Wye-mar, definitely. Weemar would just be so wrong, for the same reason that Wiebe is Wee-bee and not Why-bee. I don't think the "v" sound has survived in any of the local German names beginning with "W".

Time to get back on topic: Is it EE-on, or EYE-on? What about eye-ON?
