City Council Preview

City council will have a lot to talk about tonight.  One of the topics will be surrounding the removal of Tamarack Trees on Mohawk Crescent.  The original request to have the trees removed has reportedly been pulled.  City Councillor Mark Bentz says he still supports replacing the trees with another species.  Also being discussed, the full ratification of the anti-smoking by-law put in place by the Thunder Bay Hospital.   Meanwhile, City councillor Rebecca Johnson will be paying close attention to see what the next step will be in the city's poverty strategy.  Johnson is looking for an implementation component to the strategy.
