City Wants Province to Pay for Crossing Guards

School crossing guards are on Kenora City Council's mind.

Council says it would like the Ministry of Education to take responsibility for funding the position.

Currently the city spends about 50 thousand dollars a year to hire crossing guards for crosswalks near area schools.

Kenora mayor Dave Canfield admits this is a battling for years, since he was mayor back in the former town of Jaffray Melick.
