City offers free land for Ambulence Base


With both the City of Kenora and the Kenora District Services Board divided on a suitable location for a new Land Ambulance Base, Kenora Council has offered free property on Barsky's Hill.


In a letter to the KDSB, Mayor Len Compton offers property located in the 14th Street North and Mellick Avenue area, at no cost to the Board.

The Board has formed a Task Force to work with the City on the proposed site.

However, some Unincorporated members are concerned with some of the wording in the letter.

Compton writes the property may provide a unique opportunity for an integrated emergency service delivery model in the future.

One member stressed the KDSB is not looking to integrate emergency services.
