911 Costs Going Up

9-1-1 phone service is going to cost the City of Kenora a little bit more in 2013.

City council has approved a contract extention with the Ontario Provincial Police to handle the emergency phone system.

It will cost 86 hundred dollars next year.

Fire Chief Warren Brinkman says the contract is based on population size, and in the last census, Kenora's population grew.

The new five year deal will take effect starting February 17th.
