Economic Development Kenora

Kenora City Council has approved a new organizational structure for the Lake of the Woods Economic Development Commission.

Council met yesterday morning with members of the commission.

Geordie McEwan is one of the directors and says under the structure, the city's economic development officer will now report directly to the commission.

In the past, the Economic Development Officer reported to the City Planner, but with the resignation of Jeff Port last month, the commission decided ona re-organization.

McEwan says the new organizational structure is now the way most Economic Development Commissions operate in the rest of canada.
