Council not in a giving mood

Even though the October 25th municipal elections are just over a week away, Kenora City

Council isn't feeling in a very giving mood.

Last week council rejected a couple of requests for donations from local community groups.

The Kenora Triple "A" senior men's hockey team had requested a three thousand dollar donation as it prepares to host the 2011 Allan Cup.

Councillor Chris Van Wallenghem says they city already provides a 35 percent subsidy on ice rentals at
the Rec. Center.

He adds that the city will consider becoming a corportate sponsor of the Allan Cup, when it
begins discussing the 2011 budget.

Council also refused a funding request to help out with today's community feast.
