Councillor Suggests Need for Updated Emergency Plan

A rash of train derailments across Canada shows the need for a new Emergency Plan for the City of Kenora.

That's the feeling of councilor Sharon Smith.

Smith says more and more dangerous goods are being transported by rail, and that should be a cause for alarm for all municipalities.

Smith suggests the Emergency Plan should include evacuation routes out of the city, should any dangerous goods spill along the C.P. main line.
