Council says no to Dog Park

Kenora isn't going to the dogs.

Kenora City council met this week to go over its 2012 capital budget, but turned down a request to create a dog park.

Councillor Sharon Smith a small dedicated group has been meeting to make the dog park a reality and is disappointed council won't approve the relatively small expenditure.

She says they have a 900 name petition in favour of the dog park and suggests it would be good for the community.

Councillor Louis Roussin argues the city faces a number of financial challenges and doesn't think spending money on a dog park is a good use of taxpayers money.
