City Gets Funding for Harborfront Tent

City officials are breathing a sigh of relief.

The Northern Ontario Heritage Fund has come up with  800 thousand dollars for the new Harborfront Tent.

Kenora Mayor Dave Canfield says that's a big load off his mind.

The board of the Heritage Fund is meeting in Kenora this week and made the decision to provide the funding yesterday morning.

The money will cover about half the 1.6 million dollar cost of the tent.
