The future of the former Flin Flon Community Hall hobby shop remained up in the air Wednesday.
Mayor Cal Huntley said city council had yet to reach a decision on how to rent out the vacant space, located in the lower level of the building.
Council must decide whether to allow the Lord’s Bounty Food Bank, Flin Flon Arts Council or possibly both to rent the spot.
Food bank volunteers recently made an impassioned pitch for the space, saying it meets their needs for accessibility, privacy, and room to operate and expand.
The food bank also wants to expand its services by adding a cooking program, a potential drop-in centre to keep people off the street, and space-sharing partnerships with organizations such as an indigenous sewing group.
The arts council has also applied to take over the hobby shop, to use in part as an office and meeting space.
Discussion at the March 15 council meeting indicated it may be possible for both organizations to share the space.
