Municipal leaders in the Kenora District have given their backing to an emergency
resolution calling on the federal and provincial governments to move ahead
as quickly as possible with the double-laning of the Trans-Canada Highway in
northestern Ontario.
Kenora City council brought the resolution forward over the weekend at the
KDMA annual conference in Red Lake.
Kenora Mayor Dave Canfield says support for the resolution shows the
need for the city to continue to support the work of the KDMA.
One other resolution supported by KDMA called on the federal and provincial
levels of government to expand cellular phone service into smaller communities
such as Pickle Lake.
