A property owner in Minaki wants to add a small piece of road allowance to their lot. The 0.163 hectare strip would be added to Lot 244, which is currently vacant. This would allow a future merger with the neighbouring Lot 245 for recreational use.
Why This Matters: This mainly affects nearby property owners in Minaki. If you own land next to this lot or use the road allowance, this change could affect access or property boundaries. The area is remote—about 56 km northwest of Kenora.
