Elizabeth Wooley addressed Flin Flon City Council last night about the increase in panhandling on Main Street.  She noted how the panhandlers step in front of people insisting they hand over money.  She said she has contacted the police asking Council if they have a bylaw in respect to panhandling.

Mayor Cal Huntley replied what you have done is correct in contacting the RCMP because they are breaking the law in panhandling.  He said the RCMP patrol Main Street on a regular basis but cannot be on the street all the time so contacting them every time it happens is the right thing to do as that way they have an indication of how many incidents take place and can take appropriate action.

Council approved a memorandum of agreement with Dinosaur Valley Studios for repairs and restoration of the Flinty Statue.  Work has now started on the project. And Mayor Cal Huntley reported he has  heard a lot of praise for the Trout Festival parade  and congratulated the Committee on its success.
