No Subsidy for Tournament for Cancer

Organizers of a summer hockey tournament which raises money for the

Canadian Cancer Society won't be getting any financial support from
the City of Kenora.

The second annual Kenora Hockey Kids for Cancer tournament will take place
at the Keewatin Arena at the end of August.

Organizers had requested a break on ice rentals for the weekend, but council
says at123 dollars an hour, the city already subsidizes ice times.

Councillors say even though the event is for a good cause, if they gave them
a break on ice rentals, they'd have to do the same thing for other groups.
