Serran - Council Capsule

Councillor Jeff Serran was in studio with Matthew Sookram for today’s Council Capsule.

They talked about the proposal of a casino in North Bay, and Serran says if there is going to be one here, it should be inside the city.



Serran says there haven’t been any discussions in Council Chambers regarding the casino with this new council, who were sworn in, in December.

Meantime, Councillors Derek Shogren and Darryl Vaillancourt were named to the Invest North Bay Economic Development Corporation Board.

Serran says those are two great choices.

Serran says this board is on the right track to bringing in businesses and industries to the city.

North Bay City Council is looking into commercially developing the North Bay Waterfront, and Serran says any development should be aimed at ways to keep people in the waterfront area.

Serran says an original completion date was scheduled for 2012 – but that has been pushed back now.

Meantime, Council will see a report at their next meeting dealing with two new positions within the North Bay Fire and Emergency Services.

Serran says there will be plenty of discussion around the table with this item.

Serran says he hasn’t heard if that can be accomplished just yet.
