Kenora City council has turned down a request from the Fellowship Center for a 12 thousand dollar grant. The emergency shelter had requested the funding to help cover utility costs and recycling.
Councillor Sharon Smith says while the City doesn't have the funds to give the shelter money,
she suggested that Fellowship Center work with the Kenora Assembly of Resources to see if they can share some services.
The Kenora Assembly of Resources operates a couple of programs on the Kenora Harborfront
including the Green Team and Buck's Brigade.
