Experimental Lakes Funding



The Experimental Lakes Area east of Kenora is getting 850 thousand dollars in funding from the federal government to build a new laboratory.

The money will be used to erect as new fish research facility.

Dr. Mike Paterson works out at the E.L.A. and says their current lab is about 40 years old and in desperate need of replacement.

The funding will be spread out over the next two years and is part of the federal governments 250 million dollar initiative to upgrade laboratory facilities across Canada.
