Gravelle Fights for regional E.F.O.


Michael Gravelle says he's fighting to keep a regional emergency field officer in Thunder Bay.

The Northern Development Minister says he's doing everything he can behind the scenes keep the position here from being eliminated.

"I am working and lobbying very hard Jim Bradley, the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services," says Gravelle. "I believe that it is a very important position."

The current officer is due to retire at the end of January and the McGuinty government has no plans to replace him.
