Highway 17 North campaigns
A campaign to have the twinning of the Trans-Canada moved north of the current road bed seems to be gaining momentum.
A group called Highway 17 North made a deputation to Kenora City Council last night.
Rob Giguere is a spokesperson for the group and says they just want the Ministry of Transportation
to abide by the MNR's regulations regarding development in the Clearwater Bay protected zone.
Kenora City Council has passed a resolution in support of keeping the Trans-Canada twinning north
of the current road bed.
The issue will be the subject of another public meeting scheduled for later this month at the
McKenzie Clearwater Bay Fire Hall.
