Council puts off decision on Special Events Position

Kenora City Council is balking at making the Special Events Co-Ordinator position a permanent full-time job.

The position was created last year on a one-year trial basis.

The contract comes up on October 1st, but members of council want more discussion on the issue before agreeing to make the job permanent.

Councillor Ron Lunny questions whether there is enough work to keep a special events co-ordinator busy year round.

Other members of council questioned why the job was unionized, considering the fact they are technically an employee of the Lake of the Woods Development Commission.
