Tamarack Trees Up For Debate

City Council is tackling the issue of Mohawk Crescent's Tamarack Trees.  Staff are delivering a report that says it would cost almost 9-thousand dollars to remove 11 tamarack trees from the area and then replant white spruce.  Councillor Ken Boshcoff has Tamarack trees in his yard and has some concerns about paying to remove the trees.  The report is coming forward after several neighbours complained about the Tamarack needle drop and how it was impacting their roofs.

LU Outpost Offers Pregnancy Tests

Lakehead University's Outpost bar is the first in Canada to offer pregnancy tests in their bathroom dispensers.  The purpose is to help prevent Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.  The initiative starts today and they hope to have more local bars get on board and offer pregnancy tests.  Tests will cost 3 dollars.
