Economic Development Commission to take over City Special Events

The City of Kenora has outlined how it plans to carry out special events in the future.

The City says it will continue to work with the Kenora Assembly of Resources on certain events, such as the Farmer's Market, but increasingly, special event management will be turned over to the Lake of the Woods Economic Development Commission.

Starting June 1st, the Commission will be responsible for co-ordinating and renting special events equipment.

The city has also promised KAR free access to the big tent and other special event infrastructure to carry out the farmers market this year, but next year the weekly event is to be transferred over to special events.
