New Fire Hall getting ready to open

Work continues to get the new fire hall on Barsky's Hill ready for occupancy.

The opening ceremonies for the fire hall will take place in just under three weeks, on Monday, November 29th.

However, members of Kenora City Council will get a sneak preview of the six million dollar construction project.

A special meeting of the outgoing council has been scheduled for November 18th.

Fire chief Warren Brinkman says he wanted to give the council that approved the funding for the project a chance to see the building first hand, before they leave office.

Brinkman adds that they are still waiting for furnishings to be delivered to the new fire hall and for final inspections to be completed.
