Kenora man fined
A Kenora resident has been fined two thousand dollars for illegally importing baitfish into Ontario.
Jerry Wiebe admitted in Kenora court this week to importing live baitfish from Manitoba and providing false information to the Ministry of Natural Resources.
The court heard that Wiebe used minnows that were trapped on a commercial baitfishing licence in Manitoba and used them to supply his commercial baitfish business in Ontario.
The MNR says importing baitfish from other jurisdictions poses a significant risk to local ecosystems and fisheries.

Drive Test strike drags on
People looking to get their driver's licence are not going to be behind the wheel any time soon.
Ontario's striking driver examiners, represented by the United Steelworkers, have rejected DriveTest's latest offer by 78 per cent.
Young Drivers of Canada Kenora Centre Director Maria Bagdonas says the strike is having an impact on local business.
Bagdonas adds its not fair that Southern Ontario has one Service Ontario office providing G1 tests while Northern Ontario is left out.

Council seeks parking solutions
Kenora City Council is still trying to decide where people with monthly parking passes on the south parking lot can go when the big tent goes up again next summer.
Council has agreed the tent should go up at least one more summer on the Harborfront.
Councillor Chris Van Wallenghem says they are looking at a number of different options, including allowing parking along the south side of Lakeview Drive to McLeod Park.
Council has ruled out a couple of other options, including building a new parking lot on the north side of Lakeview Drive, because they are too expensive for a short term problem.
