Atikokan Information Incorrect

An Atikokan man is not happy with the how the Ministry of Education is portraying the community.

Mike McKinnon says the Ministry's school finder website contains inaccurate information about Atikokan, including the number of residents which a university degree.

"We are a little below the provincial average in terms of education levels," says McKinnon. "That translates to about 15 per cent having some university education and for the provincial ministry of education to spread information that's is zero per cent is, to me, insulting."

McKinnon has written to the Ministry asking for the information to be corrected or removed.
