Heritage Kenora Opposes move of two fire hall items

The Kenora Heritage Committee is sticking to its guns.

The committee met with fire chief Warren Brinkman last week
to talk about whether two of the identified heritage assets in the
old fire hall on Second Street South could be moved to the new
fire hall on Barsky's Hill.

The Heritage Committee wants the call box and the alarm bell to
remain in the old fire hall.

There is a process that can change the Heritage designation of those two items, but it requires a by-law change by city council.

Brinkman has indicated he still will follow the process through to get the call box and bell moved up to the new fire hall.
