A group of citizens from Flin Flon, Creighton and Denare Beach have formed a community group called Caring For Our Community.

 

They have been in operation since June and have been holding meetings with members of City Council to try to find a way to curb the crime and violence in our area.

 

Karen Rasmussen is one of the people that spear headed the group and she tells us how this group came about and what they are looking to accomplish. 

 

" The group came about from citizens that are very concerned about the future of Flin Flon, Creighton Denare Beach and the surrounding areas. So we met with the Councillors of the City and asked what we could do to help to get things done. We need Shelters, Drug Addiction Councelling and many many things."

 

This group is going to have an opportunity to meet with the Canadian Centre For Safer Communities to go over some ideas and strategies and help with  a plan moving  forward.

 

Information from this meeting will be discussed at later meetings throughout the next few weeks,  and if you are interested in getting involved and finding out more they get together the first and fourth Monday of each month at City Council Chambers at 7pm.
