BISNO Welcomes new Funding

Brain Injury Support of Northern Ontario says new funding from the

Northwest LHIN's will improve services in the Kenora area.

Alice Bellavance is the executive director of BISNO and says even though
there is no new funding for the Kenora office, the 715 thousand dollars
announced this week, will have some spillover effects locally.

Bellavance says the funding will allow them to put a support worker
in Dryden and Fort Frances, and establish a aboriginal cultural advisor
for Sioux Lookout.
