There will be a postponement in signing a new accord between the City of Elliot Lake and Serpent River.
Elliot Lake CAO Daniel Gagnon says the signing ceremony at Serpent River First Nation set for this Friday, National Indigenous Peoples Day, has been put off.
Gagnon indicated the signing is being delayed pending more community consultation in Serpent River. The signing to involve Elliot Lake Mayor Dan Marchisella and Elaine Johnston, Chief of Serpent River First Nation, was to formalize the creation of a new corporate organization with each community holding an equal stake in the organization for economic development.
Once the new corporation is established, the two partners will plan for future waterfront development within the municipal boundaries and the Robinson Huron Treaty area with a view of resuming waterfront land sales as soon as possible.
