Canfield to appear before Pre-Budget Consultations

The provincial finance committee will likely get an earful when it makes a pit stop

in Thunder Bay.

Tomorrow's pre-budget consultation is the only one taking place in northwestern
Ontario.

Kenora Mayor Dave Canfield will be making a presentation not only on behalf
of the city, but also for the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association.

He's upset with the lack of notice municipalities were given to attend the session.

Canfield says he only has about five minutes to make a presentation on behalf
of the city, and will focus on funding to repair municipal bridges and road, and
the municipal infrastructure deficit.
