At their meeting this week Mayor and Council had praise and thanks for everyone involved in a very successful Flin Flon Trout Festival weekend and the city’s 80th anniversary celebration which they report was really well attended.  Councilor Tim Babcock who is also the President of the Festival said there was a lot of work done by the committees and sub-committees and more people have become interested in volunteering.  He said the 465 helicopter rides by Wings Over Kississing raised about 88 hundred dollars for the Festival.  Mayor George Fontaine added volunteerism here is community wide and that should be recognized.

In other business Council received the Fire Chiefs report for June indicating 8 calls during the month.

The city will apply for provincial funding to assist with work on Oak Avenue from Aspen Grove to the public lane to replace the storm sewer and resulting road and curb repairs as well as Asphalt work on Elm and Hemlock, Hart, Windsor and Balsam Avenues.
