At the Flin Flon City Council Meeting Tuesday night Councilor Ken Pawlachuk reported on the Mining Convention he recently attended in Winnipeg.  He says things were more positive than at last year’s convention due to improving metal prices including copper and zinc. He noted mines at Puffy Lake and Sherridon are in the final stages of development and First Nations are part of a development taking place at Oxford House.

Council agreed to apply to the New Building Canada Fund’s Small Communities Fund for financial assistance for local infrastructure improvement projects.

Mayor Cal Huntley urges you to have a safe holiday season and be aware of road conditions with Councilor Tim Babcock reminding you to use Operation Red Nose to get you and your vehicle home safely during Christmas and New Years celebrations and Councilor Karen MacKinnon thanked everyone involved in the successful Christmas tree lighting in Pioneer Square last week.
