The City of Flin Flon hosted a couple of visitors this past Friday.
Northern Relations Minister Glen Simard and his Chief of staff Mike O’Kelly made a trip to Flin Flon to present $2.4 million dollars towards construction of the new Aqua Centre, and another $500,000.00 towards the North Central Canada Centre of Arts and Environment.
The first step is to conduct a feasibility study and to see if this is something that will become viable for the North.
They also got a chance to tour the new Aqua Centre, Whitney Forum and Snow Lodge. Members of Council also had a chance to meet with Minister Simard to talk about additional funding for water works, the Main Street upgrade and the Whitney Forum ice plant.
Flin Flon is getting ready to celebrate it’s 100th anniversary and have put together an organizing committee that is called Flin Flon 27. They have a logo and a facebook page.
They are in the planning stages now on the different events they want to coordinate, different events they would like to host, Indigenous events, tours and coordinating with the Flin Flon Bombers on their upcoming celebration.
The meeting concluded with Mayor Fontaine offering condolences to Carl Lentowicz’s family. Carl was the Mayor of Denare Beach since the late 90’s and passed away recently.
