At their meeting last night Flin Flon City Council heard from a delegation from the Flin Flon Seniors Group.  President Madalean Stevens requested a contract with the City for use of the Seniors Room at the Community Hall as they used to have. She noted they pay 419 dollars a month but make some of that back renting to other groups.             

Mayor Cal Huntley advised they have drawn up a draft agreement.  One issue he noted is when the Seniors rent to another group the City has no idea who they are and that has liability issues.  He explained the City agrees to rent it to the Seniors from 12 to 5 for 150 dollars a month but will also make it available at other times the Seniors request.  When the room is rented to another group it will be done through the Community Hall so the City knows who’s in there to solve liability issues. The Seniors were quite concerned about the limited hours from 12 to 5 but it was pointed out they have priority use so if they have other events planned they just have to contact the City. The City and the Seniors will review the draft agreement before it is finalized.

Mayor and Council also had a lot of praise for the Trout Festival Committee for all the events they put on as well as the great participation at all of the events by our communities.
