Jonathon Naylor Editor A new housing unit is coming to one of Flin Flon's oldest neighbourhoods after city council approved the residential use of a now-defunct business. Council voted Tuesday to allow the first storey of 68 Church Street _ the former Movies N Moore location _ to accommodate residential housing. Council had already approved the use of the second storey for that purpose. Movies N Moore, a DVD rental store, recently closed its doors at the former Labour Temple building. Other highlights from Tuesday's council meeting: Council voted unanimously to donate $603 to the Flin Flon Aqua Jets to help defray the costs of their Flin Flon Swim Meet taking place this May. The event is expected to involve over 100 participants, many of them from out of town. Council awarded the city's cemetery maintenance contract to Dadson Maintenance, the lone bidder. Coun. Tim Babcock congratulated the Flin Flon Bombers on a 'successful season' and wished them good luck in the playoffs. Council voted to donate $50 to the upcoming Flin Flon Men's Bonspiel, with Coun. McKee the lone voice of opposition. Coun. McKee said she believes that 'responsible adults have their own money' for an event like the bonspiel. The fiscally conservative councillor has voted against several spending motions that carried the support of the rest of council.
