Merger of Non-Profit Housing Corporations Still On Hold

Both the non-profit housing corporations in Kenora and Keewatin are rejecting a request for proposals for management of their units.

Chair of the Keewatin Board Jack Peason told council this week that they can save 13 thousand dollars by going it alone.

Mayor Dave Canfield says at this point he's prepared to turn the whole matter over to the District Services Board.

Canfield says council will wait for a report from city administration in September before making any decision about amalgamating the non-profit housing services.
