Development Commission releases first quarter report


The Lake of the Woods Development Commission says it has a number of irons in the fire to improve the economy of the City of Kenora.

The Commission made its first quarter report to council last week and chair
Dennis Wallace says they are making positive strides in a number of directions.

He says forestry is still an important industry for Kenora and believes there will be
growth in the value-added sector.

Wallace adds that they have been able to secure a grant for 40 thousand dollars
to bring back a full winter carnival to the city next year.
