Mayor And City Manager Headed To Flin Flon For AMM Cities Caucus Meeting

Thompson has a strong voice at the table tomorrow for a meeting of municipal leaders from around Manitoba. 

 

Mayor Dennis Fenske and City Manager Anthony McInnis will be in Flin Flon for the Association of Manitoba Municipalities fall Cities Caucus meeting, where cannabis is expected to be front and centre. 

 

Mayor Fenske spoke to Arctic Radio News, and said that one of the main discussions will be on enforcement and the costs that come with it.  

 

Under the federal marijuana tax law, 25% of all revenue from the tax is set to go to Ottawa, with the rest going to the provinces. There is not current a portion of the tax going to municipalities, who will be footing the bill for enforcement once cannabis becomes legal.  

 

The Cities Caucus is an AMM sub-committee made up of mayors and CAO’s from all cities in Manitoba, including Winnipeg.
