Committee shoots down electronic sign board

Just say no to electronic signs.

That continues to be the mantra of the city's property and planning committee.

The committee is pulling the plug on an electronic reader board installed by the Kenora and District Chamber of Commerce to publicize the upcoming Home and Liesure Show.

The sign was located in front of a Park Street Business, but its just on the edge of the Harbortown Center, an area where electronic billboards are banned.

The committee also suggests its a potential distraction to motorists. 
Kenora Mayor Dave Canfield says the Home Show is a big event and he'd like the Chamber to find an alternative location for their electronic reader board.
