Decommissioning, demolition of West Ferris Arena recommended ahead of committee debate
46As a former employee of the city of north bay and a employee who spent 20 years working in that building it’s not as old as the memorial gardens.Gardens was put up in 1955 and has gone through extensive renovations so I’m sure if the city puts a1/3 of the money they put into the gardens into West Ferris you would have a awesome 4 season building for everything but hockey. Do some renovations save the building.Just don’t tear it down and do nothing with the land! Because if you remember when they took out the ballparks behind the arena there was supposed to have been walking trails benches and picnic tables and beautified for people to enjoy they don’t even cut the grass back there.just saying if you’re going to take it down don’t leave it like vacant lot

13I am sure there is more to this and the other stories. Yes, his place is a little offside, and the road parking is annoying. I get that once there is a “valid complaint,” police have to check it out. But if someone is accusing him of running taxi rides, you would think there would need to be at least some actual evidence first, right?Apparently if the right person calls the city, we suddenly have resources for a full neighbourhood taxi investigation.And honestly, poor Dan having to deal with this and the other complaints. To be fair, he could probably do a much better job respecting the neighbourhood. Yes, it may all be legal and within his rights, but that does not make it any less annoying for everyone else.Nice to know police resources are focused on solving the great “possible Uber driver” case while there are clearly no bigger issues out there.

12I can see lots of reason for various people to be motivated to see Dan Seguin as some sort of bad guy because his house is covered in unsightly junk, but it looks to me as though he has been unfairly picked on by the cops. This sort of unfair and underhand stuff by the cops has got to stop. That's why I'm trying to get on the police service board. Currently, the board doesn't seem to have anyone who's motivated to hold the cops accountable for dirty tricks.

35To run a delivery service in Ontario, you must register your business, carry commercial vehicle insurance, and obtain appropriate driver's licenses. Depending on your specific deliveries, you may also need a Commercial Vehicle Operator’s Registration (CVOR), cargo insurance, and a municipal business license.I wonder if he has met any of those requirements.

7Time to let it go…..Put housing up and take over the fields outback of it and put housing up there as well. This should have been done so many years ago. Money doesn’t grow on trees or in ice.

23Absolutely Mark, well said. They will spend 6 million on a cricket field, but totally refuse to repair a historic landmark in West Ferris that is truly needed as a 4 season facility for kids and seniors. Municipal elections can’t come soon enough.

27Leave the pad and boards and glass and put a roof over it in the same way the Callander rink was built with Federal support. Kids could use it year round with ball hockey or skate boarding in summer, ice rink in December that would last through winter rains/thaws til late March unlike our other open air rinks. The only walkable rink in West Ferris is Lion's behind West Ferris school. Riverbend is a drive for everyone.The rink is central West Ferris walking distance for kids. The City used to make two rinks on the tennis courts with a full set of boards every year beside the West Ferris Arena. That evaporated in the early 90's.

New report shows dramatic increase in emergency department wait-times at North Bay hospital
26According to the report, Ontario patients waiting for hospital admission spent up to 44 hours in emergency departments in 2024/25, and wait times at North Bay’s hospital increased even faster than the provincial average. The report, called Failure, By Design: Ontario’s Deepening Hospital Funding Crisis, was prepared by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and discussed publicly in North Bay this week. It links longer ER waits to hospital funding pressures, staffing shortages, and increasing patient demand. Recent community discussions from North Bay residents also describe overnight ER waits commonly reaching 10–14 hours for non-life-threatening issues. Vic Fideli and Doug Ford, how long do you have to wait? You do have money to waste on a private jet. Forget the "buck a beer" and photo-ops and start making a difference for the people you are representing.

Ford government freezes FOI requests amid controversy
26Let us all remember this disgusting secrecy when elections roll around. Any government that takes action to hide what they've done does not deserve to serve the people.
