Concerned Kenora residents filled the chambers of City Hall today as Mayor Andrew Poirier and Council members held an emergency meeting to try to find solutions to safety concerns in Kenora’s downtown core.

The meeting came about as at least five local businesses have been the subject of mischief, crime or harassment this month, with multiple employees being the victim of assaults.

Now, City Councillors say they will be discussing a variety of solutions to present to the public going forward – after hearing from members of the public at City Hall earlier today.
