No Rebates for Local Municipalities from DSSAB

Local municipalities shouldn't expect to see any money returned back to them from the Kenora District Services Board this year.

Council says if the provincial government is paying the cost of more services, those savings should be passed back to towns and cities in the Kenora District.

Louis Roussin is the City representitive on the District Services board and says instead for returning money back to municalities, the extra money is being put into reserves.

He says the District Services Board then uses that money for capital expenditures, such as replacing ambulences.
