Discovery Center Tender to be Awarded Tonight

The City of Kenora is ready to move ahead with a new tourism office on Lakeview Drive.


Council is expected to approve a tender of 2.1 million dollars to build the Discovery Center
near Norman Park.
Operations manager Rick Perchuck says they had budgeted 1.8 million dollars for construction but
is asking council to approve the tender despite the increased costs.

Council is expected to approve almost six million dollars in expenditures on two separate
projects, including phase two of downtown revitalization.

That project came in about 634 thousand dollars higher than projected.
