The Town of Canora may see upgrades to the Canora Civic Centre, should the town council’s application to the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program be approved.
During council’s regular meeting at 7 p.m. on June 21, members of the town council voted to approve application to the grant program, which was created as a celebration of Canada’s upcoming 150th anniversary in 2017. The application will be requesting funds for the Canora Civic Centre renovation project.
Canada 150 will be providing $150 million to projects across the country, said a statement from Western Economic Diversification Canada. Priority is given to projects that upgrade recreational facilities or advance a clean growth economy.
Another advancement made during the council meeting was the adoption of a bylaw to regulate signage in the Canora area to ensure signs are not obstructing roads or public property.
The meeting also addressed a development permit for Nehaj Enterprises, and building permits for Logan Stevens and Daryl Deighton.
The meeting was held in the Canora Town Council Chambers and was attended by Mayor Gina Rakochy; councillors Matthew Nehaj, Brad Gabora, Cory O’Dell, Gerald Wolkowski, James Trofimenkoff and Syl Hrynkiw; Michael Mykytyshyn, the chief administrative officer; and Aaron Herriges, the leisure service director.
