KDMA conference begins today in Red Lake

The 70th annual Kenora District Municipal Association Convention gets underway

today in Red Lake.

Unlike in past years, the City of Kenora is sending a full delegation this year.

Kenora Mayor Dave Canfield says these conferences are important and would
like to see the city take a more active role in the future.

Canfield says councillors will be bringing an emergency resolution to KDMA, asking
the federal and provincial government's to proceed with the twinning of the Trans-Canada
Highway between the Manitoba Border and the Kenora By-Pass.
