Councillor Leslie Beck reported to Flin Flon City Council Tuesday night on her attendance at the Mining Conference and then joining fellow Councillors at the Association of Manitoba Municipalities annual meeting in Winnipeg in November.  She says it gave them opportunities to make contact with representatives of mining companies, several government ministers and representatives of other Councils and organizations.  Beck reported at the bear pit session with government ministers she raised the issue of making sure Flin Flon is included in any discussions on developing a northern strategy and a northern transportation route to Nunavut.  Mayor Cal Huntley said they had some productive dialogue on topics including implementing a base tax and will wait and see what results come from that.

In other business Council received the Fire Chiefs report for November indicating two fire calls during the month one of which was a false alarm.
