City Hall Christmas Tree

At their meeting Tuesday night Flin Flon City Council gave first reading to a bylaw requiring people to put their address numbers on their homes.  This results from concerns expressed by the Fire Chief, RCMP and Medial staff having problems locating homes that are not numbered in an emergency.

Council also gave first reading to a bylaw to adopt the Manitoba Emergency Measures Act and approve the City of Flin Flon emergency plan.  They also will meet with Denare Beach and Creighton Councils to move forward in expanding a regional emergency plan.

Council approved the rezoning of the Armories property from educational institution to commercial to allow for the construction of the new Co-op store on the property.

Council received a letter from Sport Manitoba inviting them to consider bidding to host the 2020 Power Smart Manitoba Summer Games which was referred to the Social and Community Services Committee.

Council also wished everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
