New Fire Hall gets more money

Kenora's Fire and Emergency Services Department will be getting a bit more funding to outfit the new fire hall on Barsky's Hill.

Council recently approved 188 thousand dollars for the fit and finish of the new facility.

Fire Chief Warren Brinkman says they had initially budgeted about 138 thousand dollars to finish the new fire hall.

Brinkman says so far, the nearly six million dollar project is pretty close to being on
budget.

The only real change is to the roof, at a cost of about 24 hundred dollars.
