OPP Forensics Lab gets okay from Council

Kenora City Council has given the go ahead for a new

OPP Forensics Laboratory to be built north of the Kenora

By-Pass.

Council approved the site plan for the facility, which will

be built just east of the existing detachment office.

The Property and Planning committee says the OPP didn't

need approval from the city to proceed with construction,

but did so as a courtesy.

Its expected that construction will begin sometime later this year.
