Atikokan Renewal Committee Meeting tonight

The Atikokan Renewal Committee will meet informally tonight to discuss future projects for the beautification of the community.

The Committee maintains projects intended to spruce up Atikokan as companies such as Osisko move into the region. That includes such projects as tree planting and the recent renewal of Main Street.

Gord Knowles, the Community Development Advisor for the Atikokan Economic Development Corporation also acts as a resource for of the Committee. He says the Committee is always looking for input and volunteers.

"There's always a need for volunteers whether it's getting in and doing physical work or contributing ideas; we're always looking for input from the community, from business people, from local government..."

He added that the meeting tonight at 5:30 at the Outdoorsman restaurant is an excellent forum for that.
