MNR Threatens Closure of Ignace Office

Ignace council is concerned over the possible closure of their Ministry of Natural Resources office.

The MNR is facing a deficit and is closing a number of centers across the area.

Mayor Lee Kennard says this move would drastically impact jobs.

Kennard says a comparison would be losing 88 jobs in Kenora or 1,100 in Thunder Bay.
