City to ask Feds for Grain Centre

The City of Thunder Bay is going to ask the Federal Government if a National Grain Industry Activity Centre could be a National Historical Site.  Councillors are going to bring the idea to their intergovernmental affairs committee.  Councillor Mark Bentz says they support the Centre, they just don't have the funds to properly back the Friends of the Grain Elevator's project.  The move means the City will back the project in any way they can just not financially.  The Spokesperson for the Friends of the Grain Elevator says they're more than pleased with council's decision.
