Flin Flon City Council has received word that the COVID-19 restrictions preventing byelections were lifted on August 1st. They now have to recall the byelection for a vacant Council position postponed in the spring. A planning meeting will be held next week to set the date for receiving nominations and the date of the byelection.
At their meeting Tuesday night two traffic concerns from Channing were referred to Administration. One asked for a stop sign at the corner of Green Street and Channing Drive as some people yield properly at that corner while others don’t resulting in close calls with many vehicles as well as being a danger to people who walk that road to Channing. The other requested speed signs going both ways on the winding and lakeside road of Freedman Street/Desjardins Lane that connects Channing Drive to Flin Flon Highway due to the high volume of vehicles and pedestrians using that road.
And Mayor Cal Huntley advised boaters to use caution on the many lakes in our area. He says he has noticed a big increase in the number of boats, some travelling at high speeds.
