At their meeting last night Flin Flon City Council approved a municipal funding application to the developing Pineroot Mural Festival in the amount of three thousand dollars.  The project will see murals painted on buildings and structures around the community to make them more appealing for people to visit and enhance the skills of our local artists and promote their art work.

The Flin Flon Arts Council advised Council they have received a five thousand dollar grant from the Neighborhood Revitalization Corporation to be used to complete some projects along Main Street in partnership with the Main Street Revitalization Committee.  They include back lit window paintings and birch bark bitings, self watering planters along empty lot walkways as well as cigarette butt receptacles at the entrance to the walkways.

The City has just received information from the provincial government on the requirements they must meet to hold a byelection following COVID-19 protocols to fill an empty seat on Council.  They will meet to discuss the requirements, set a date and then make an announcement.
