Free Parking for Veterans?

There may be no such thing as a free ride, but there is such a thing as

free parking, at lease if you are a military veteran in Kenora.

City council has re-visited a by-law allowing free parking for vets only
on certain days, such as Remembrance Day and D-Day.

Councillor Rod McKay feels anyone who fought for out country should be eligible for free parking.

He says it won't cost the city a lot of money.

There was some concern about people abusing the privaledge, but
Councillor Ron Lunny says the number would be so small, that it
shouldn't be a real issue.
