Panhandlers Have Been Discussed in The Pas as Well as Flin Flon.

At the last Flin Flon City Council meeting a presentation was made regarding panhandling in Flin Flon.  As we reported earlier Mayor Cal Huntley advised the presenter panhandling is illegal in Flin Flon and people seeing it should contact the RCMP.  Last week The Pas Mayor and Council discussed a proposed bylaw brought forward by Councillor Larry Forster that would have made it illegal to giver panhandlers money and violators would be fined.  CAO Jenn Early reports their Town Council decided not to move forward with the proposed bylaw. She explains the majority of Council thought there was good intention and it was a good idea but they have no way to enforce it as they have no Bylaw Enforcement Officer and at the end of the day they can’t tell people what they can and can’t do with their money and that was the consensus of the majority of Council.

             

Forster proposed the bylaw for The Pas because he felt that panhandlers were using money given to them to feed addictions rather than spending it on necessities.
