High Cost of Policing Continues

The high price of policing will continue next year.

Kenora city council has voted to extend the current OPP contract until a new billing model is created in 2015.

Mayor Dave Canfield says the new model isn't perfect but it will help bridge the price gap.

He says some communities are paying less then $100 for policing while we are paying over $900.

Canfield says that council will continue to lobby the government for the changes whether or not an election takes place in 2014.
