Kenora Olympic Funding

Kenora’s Olympic torch run celebrations are getting a $15 thousand dollar boost from the federal government.

Kenora’s Conservative MP Greg Rickford announced the government’s support to communities hosting celebrations on Friday.

The Torch will be in Northwestern Ontario starting on January 4th with stops in Ignace, Dryden, Vermillion Bay, Rat Portage, Kenora and Keewatin.

Funding to Kenora will be used to highlight local talent and artists, provide interactive activities to engage youth and other individuals.
