<root><headline>Marketing retirement in Manitouwadge</headline><author>Northern Ontario Business Staff</author><article><p>A real estate group is poised to market Manitouwadge as the next active-living retirement community. With the Golden Giant Mine set to close in 2005, Select Property Group in co-operation with A.J. Galbraith and Associates of Vancouver is buying up homes vacated by departing miners in parcels from Newmont Canada Ltd., the mine operators. The first parcel of about 20 homes will become available this summer as the operation downsizes and the mining company honours a buy-back housing agreement with employees. Taping for a marketing video is currently underway this month showcasing the ski hill, snowmobile trails, recreational centre, new hospital and high school. The informational video will be incorporated into the company's Internet site (<textstyle link="http://www.selectpropertygroup.com">www.selectpropertygroup.com</a>).</p></article><images/><relatedArticles/></root>
