Hey, what about putting it at Our Lady of the Valley Catholic School? It's central, can this building be modified?

The new Fire Hall should be where the Police station is. Isn't that what City Council planned when they decided to get rid of our Police force?

You bet. Looks like there is enough room right now. I am sure with all the warehouse space they can - without building - move their trucks in without a cost to the taxpayer. If they really want to move they could make it work.

Having it at Barsky's hill would undoubtedly allow for some cost savings in terms of maintenance and overheads. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

The property is already owned by the city,the mechanics who service the equipment are close by and it is already used as a training area. This location gives quick access to all areas of town. The down side is, a new firehall in this location will mean closure of Station 3 (the former JM fire hall).

Not at all. It should be closer to the "urban" center that is Kenora. There is a lot closer property that they could use.

No, not the best location because you'll now have to drive further to see the world's most expensive car wash in action.
