Land Ambulence base de-railed?
The on-going saga of trying to find a location for a new land ambulence
base in Kenora looks like its going to continue.
The city's planning department has filed a report recommending against
a re-zoning application for some property on Railway Street.
The Kenora District Services Board wants to build the land ambulence base
on some vacant land next to the CP rail tracks.
But the planning report lists a number of concerns, including the fact
the land lies alongside a dangerous goods corridor.
Council will vote on the recommendation next Monday, but the services
board has the right to appeal any decision within 20 days to the Ontario
Municipal Board.
