A joint meeting between delegates of the Concerned Citizens’ Committee (Kenora) and the Fort Frances Community Action Group was held in Kenora on April 20.
Both groups discussed the lack of citizen involvement in local municipal decisions due to special interest politics, which exclude the democratic rights of community taxpayers.
Of further interest is the lack of transparency on the part of the Kenora and Fort Frances municipal councils in divulging information to its taxpayers, as required by law under the Privacy and Freedom of Information Act.
