The Kenora Riding did very well in terms of securing federal infrastructure funding this year.

A total of 6.7 million dollars was handed out to communities in first nations under the Recreational Infrastructure Canada Fund.

Kenora M.P. Greg Rickford says he's not going to apologize for the fact this riding got more funding under that program than any other in Canada.

Rickford says at this point its too early to say whether the Harper government will pump any more money into infrastrucuture projects next year.

He says the finance department is currently holding consultation sessions and will decide before the budget is released in the spring.
