NOMA Urging Province To Twin Highway 17

Five years and counting.

That's how long ago the federal and provincial government's announced 100 million dollars to twin the Trans-Canada Highway between Kenora and the Manitoba border.

Kenora mayor Dave Canfield says the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association has passed a resolution urging the government to finally start construction on the project.

Transportation minister Glen Murray did have a meeting with the new band leadership at Shoal Lake last week in hopes of moving the Twinning project
forward.
