It should be pointed out that Neebing Township is the fourth largest municipality in Ontario, covering 775 square kilometers. Meanwhile, the city of Peterborough passed the resolution after initially defeating it weeks ago. The council, who later admitted they may have acted too hastily, got swayed after the Minister alluded to a multimillion dollar correctional expansion in Thunder Bay. The council is now being criticized heavily in the press for selling out public safety. Members in the area vow to bring this issue back to council, hoping they see the light.
Admission is free but everyone is asked to bring a donation for the local food bank.
