The City of Kenora could see a 50 thousand dollar reduction in property taxesif it goes ahead with exemptions for a couple of community groups.
The Kenora Airport Authority, as well as the Kenora and Keewatin Legions have requested the exemptions.
Councillor Ron Lunny heads up the finance committee and says as far as
the airport goes, if they don't provide some help, the city might be forced to take over operations.
Lunny says waiving the airport's property taxes would be a 42 thousand dollar hit to their budget, while the legion's tax hit is about eight thousand dollars between Kenora and Keewatin.
Over five thousand for the Kenora Legion and three thousand for Keewatin.
