At last night’s Flin Flon Council Meeting George Fontaine was sworn in as Mayor. That was followed by the swearing in of the new Council made up of Steve Lytwyn, Alison Dallas-Funk, Mike Slipp, Judy Eagle, Heather Richardson and Bill Hanson the only member of the past Council to seek re-election.

             

Being the first meeting only six days after the election it was a short agenda.  Council received a request for information on Flin Flin from Logan a grade 12 student at Souris Regional School in Souris, Prince Edward Island that he could use in a presentation to his class as part of their research into towns and cities in Canada. He had heard about the mine shaft and was really interested in the one hundred stairs. The City will respond and send pins for the whole class.

             

Council authorized Manitoba Hydro to install two hydro poles with LED lights on Emery Drive of Channing subdivision.  The lighting had been requested by residents in the area.

 

             

At the end of the meeting Fontaine explained to those attending they’ve been having discussions and hoping to get business done and hear from the people so we will try to do our best to keep things as open as possible so we’ll always find a point at which someone can ask questions.
