Rainy River Council Take Office



Economic development will be a key priority for Rainy River's new town council over the next four years.

The new council was sworn-in Monday night and Mayor Deb Ewald attracting new business has to be number one.

"We need to get an industry or something going here," says Ewald. "It's pretty bleak right now, but we've got everything in place. It's just to find the right business or right thing to move here."

Ewald says ongoing sewer and water improvements and resolving a housing issue for locums working at the Rainy River Health Centre also face the new council.
