Hosting a major sporting event such as the recent games would be a major boost, but with crumbling infrastructure and outrageous utility bills lack of facilities and hard to find volunteers any money spent on this would be met with outrage from local ratepayers. I think we should pass.

There is a new sport emerging locally that we should compete in. "Ramp Rage"!! I saw an example of that Sunday night at the Rec Centre Ramps. Some jerk wanted to rush ahead of the people landing their boats and launch his. When confronted he grabbed one of the boaters by the throat and threatened him. Apparently this is becoming a regular event.

it was both a thrill and an honour to be part of the Canada games and host the rowing event, especially in view of the fact that we had home grown competitors competing!! Very exciting.

I'd like to see Kenora host an international commercial fishing and trapping competition, to see who can catch and waste the most by weight and by species. I don't think we give enough credit to the hundreds of thousands of kg of fish and the variety of species that are caught and discarded by these "harvesters"

The rowing events of the Canada Summer Games is a 'major sporting event'? What's next? The alpine skiing events for the next Winter Olympics? Shoot for the stars, guys

We did a decent job being the Rowing venue for this years games. It took a lot of outside money to pull it off. To host an actual games event of that size, is impossible. We don't have enough of the other venues needed. IE soccer fields, beach volley ball courts etc.
