DSSAB Budget

Municipalities in the Kenora District should soon have a better idea on how much they will have to pay for social services next year.

The Kenora District Services Board is planning to approve its 2010 budget this week.

Rory McMillan is chair of the board and says one area they may have to look at increasing spending is for Ontario Works programs.

Earlier this week, the District Services Board wrote a letter to local municipalities to cough up and extra 10 percent to cover higher than expected Ontario Works costs.
