Coney Island Residents are reminded that their seasonal water service will come to an end next week.
The City of Kenora has announced that staff will be shutting off the service starting on Tuesday, October 11th, after the Thanksgiving weekend.
The Coney Island footbridge is typically installed in the middle of November. It will look different this year after councillors approved a $225,000 budget amendment to replace the bridge after it was nearly destroyed in May.
The footbridge released from its anchor point on May 9, 2022, as a result of high water, excessive winds and waves causing extreme flexing under force. The bridge detached and floated down Cameron Narrows, causing extensive damage to the structure.
The bridge will then be removed again in the spring, typically around April or May.
