Atikokan's Mayor says the township's new council's enters with more hope for a better future than ever before.
Dennis Brown and his council were officially sworn into office last night.
Brown says they take office with the community on the verge of a boom.
"All we need to do is to see them come to fruition," says Brown. "I'm talk about initiatives in the mining with Osisko and Bending Lake. I'm talking about the wood biomass at the former particleboard plant and the opportunities that could exist at the O.P.G plant. These are all good news stories."
Brown says plans for a new arena, maintaining medical services and continuing infrastructure work are other priority areas.
