There’s been one less member around the Thunder Bay council table as of late, but he plans to come back soon.

In a memo shared Monday night, Red River’s Brian McKinnon revealed he has been away for personal reasons and is hopeful to return to his Council duties in March.

McKinnon also stated that he doesn’t take this time away lightly and will return to his duties when he’s ready to do so.

Section 259 of the Municipal Act allows for Members of Council to take a leave from their duties for up to 3 months with no penalty.
