New Sign By-Law ready for Council


The finishing touches are being put on the new Sign By-Law in the City of Kenora.

The by-law was initially drafted over a year ago, but was sent back for
revisions to make it more user friendly.

The city's special events co-ordinator, Buck Matiowski says he still has concerns with the by-law and how it will affect groups putting on events.

Chief Administrative Officer, Bill Presentanz also questioned the wisdom of
having an annual 25 dollar licence fee.

He says it creates unnecessary red tape and its also hard to enforce.
