Kim Baigrie has been appointed as the new full-time mayor of Ignace. Baigrie won over Coun. Jodie Defeo in a 3-2 vote at the community’s regular council meeting on Monday.
The Township of Ignace Willingness Committee that was studying the impact of a proposed deep geological repository by the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) has dwindled to six people.
Councillors and others from Ignace, Ont., were in Finland this month and took an elevator hundreds of metres underground to tour the world's first long-term geological repository for spent nuclear fuel. Representatives from South Bruce in southwestern Ontario have also made the trip. Costs were all covered by the Nuclear Waste Management Organization, which will decide which of the two regions will store Canada's used nuclear fuel.
