Locum Housing Discussed


An update on plans to create new housing for locums who man the Rainy River Health Centre's emergency room will be discussed in Rainy River tonight.

Jack Elliott, a spokesperson with the Rainy River Health Care Committee says it's needed in the community.

"In the past they would stay at the hotel for a little bit or they'd have to stay in Baudette," says Elliott, "or we would rent a house for a little while. We really need something on a more permanent basis and you want somethings that's a nice attractive facility where they can come and feel at home."

The meeting at the Rainy River Legion begins at 7 p.m.
