Council says no to re-zoning for Ambulence Base

The ball is now back in the court of the Kenora District Services Board as it searches for a new land ambulence base in town.

Last night, Kenora City Council voted unanimously to turn down a re-zoning application for property on Railway Street to accommodate a new land ambulence base.

The property owner can appeal council's decision to the Ontario Muncipal Board, but there's been no indication yet from the District Services Board what its plans are now.

The board has been looking for a suitable location for a new land ambulence
base for several years now, with little success.
