City Council Supports Shoal Lake #40


Kenora City council is stepping to the plate to help the Shoal Lake #40 First Nation.

Council members met with chief and council of Shoal Lake #40 recently.

Mayor Dave Canfield says they've agreed to write a letter to the International Joint Commission about Winnipeg's decision to try and sell water from Shoal Lake to other communities in southern Manitoba.

Kenora City Council says it wants the IJC to honor a 100 year old agreement
between the City of Winnipeg and Shoal Lake.
