On the way, raising money for much needed heart surgery equipment in Thunder Bay and for the region, a look at Dryden’s Youth Centre, and schools in the Kenora area reach back to their roots.
First, we head over the border to International Falls, where a former school is being eyed as a solution to the need for more affordable housing units.
It’s a proposal that’s been on the minds of officials for many years but may be getting closer to becoming a reality.
Randy Thoms reports.
It’s full steam ahead for the Thunder Bay Regional Sciences Foundation as it raises $14-million for a desperately needed heart surgery unit.
Organizers are very pleased with how the community has responded with 11.4-million of the goal already reached, and with that services already implemented.
Vic Krasowski reports.
The Kenora Catholic District School board now has its own book explaining traditional teachings.
It was written by the KCDSB’s Religious Education and Family Life Coordinator Mariette Martineau and the Elder in Residence for Kenora Catholic, Elder Isobel White.
The book uses questions and answers, as well as illustrations to get points across.
Stuart Walter had a chat with them about how it’ll be used by school boards.
There’s new life for the Dryden Youth Centre.
It was open during the summer for youth who needed it, before it closed due to funding cuts.
The Dryden hospital helped pick up some of the slack during these times.
Mike Ebbeling has the important details.
