Council seeks support from the NOHFC for Harborfront Tent

The City of Kenora isn't giving up its fight to secure funding for the new Harborfront Tent.

Council says it will be appealing a decision by the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund not to provide any money for the tent.

Council says it wants at least 800 thousand dollars from the Heritage Fund, which is about 50 percent of the cost.

Councillor Ron Lunny says because the tent is more of a permanent structure, he's hoping that will change they way the NOHFC looks at their application.
