MacEachern spoke with the Minister regarding Manitouwadge’s ongoing efforts to become the Ministry of Natural Resources’ Regional Fire Attack Base.

 The NOMA conference in Marathon at the end of April presented many such
opportunities for municipal representatives to lobby provincial and federal
dignitaries; MacEachern was diligent in moving his community’s projects forward.
