Outdoor Patios Being Encouraged by City

Outdoor eating could soon be the rule rather than the exception in downtown Kenora.

Kenora City Council is looking at a policy that would encourage businesses to set up patios.

Councillor Ron Lunny supports the idea and wants to see council move the concept forward.

The City's Planning Department is hoping to come up with a policy, including costs and regulations for business owners by the middle of May.
