A very special welcome to the thieves at the kenora.ca web site who stop by from time to time to rip off the information I post here! Visit their version of my page or download the archive I made of it here. I'm glad they think my information is good enough to steal, I wish I could say the same about theirs! Hey guys - I recently updated the OPP frequency info, so you'd better get busy and update your page too!
