The Canadian National Railway (CNR) was authorized by the Town of Canora at the August 18 regular meeting to construct a communications tower at 100 Railway Avenue.

CN currently uses a radio antenna on the old Saskatchewan Wheat Pool B elevator, but because the intention is to demolish the grain elevator, CN needs to construct a new tower.

Following the necessary procedures, a public hearing regarding the proposed tower was held during the regular council meeting, but there were no personal or written representations made.
