No Free Passes

Kenora City Council is balking at giving medical students and internsfree passes to use the wellness center at the Kenora Rec. Center.

Councillor Rory McMillan raised the issue at a committee meeting thisweek.

He suggests the free passes are a good way of attracting medicalprofessionals to the community.

However, other councillors don't think the city should be footing thebill for the passes, especially since the Rec. Center is already operatingwith a sizable deficit.

In the end, council agreed that if other organizations, like the Economic Development Commission, want to pay the cost of the passes, that would be acceptible.
