Land Ambulance Site
There are still several things that need to be done before the City of Kenora can decide whether or not to rezone a piece of property on railway street from highway commercial to institutional.
The land beside Chrystal Clean Car Wash is meant to be the future site of a land ambulance base for the Kenora District Services Board.
City Councillor Wendy Cuthbert says the property developers need to conduct a vibration study.
The proposed site is located near the CP Rail yard but not near the tracks.
