Kenora Mayor Len Compton says a lot of interest has been generated by his idea to ban spitting in the city.
Compton raised the issue at a committee of the whole meeting this week.
He says he would like to see a by-law in place to deal with spitting.
The issue came to his attention after a recent farmer's market, where someone
complained about someone spitting under the big tent.
Compton says its an unsanitary practice and would like to see council take action
on the issue.
Compton says he's had media inquiries from Thunder Bay, Winnipeg and even
Ottawa in the past week.
