North Bay City Councillors Sara Inch and Jamie Lowery join Small Town Times editor Dave Dale in the North Bay Echo studio.
The two councillors have found themselves on the minority side of many votes just over one year into this term. In the podcast clip above, Inch and Lowery explain their positions and thoughts about the new arena project and options for the future of the Sam Jacks Recreation Complex, specifically West Ferris Community Arena.

During the Tuesday, Feb. 13 regular meeting of council, Inch and Lowery were the dissenting votes in a 9-2 majority in favour of moving the controversial twin pad arena project along. The path forward for a proposed twin pad arena should be cleared following a special meeting on Thursday, Feb. 15 that will raise some procedural questions but also address a notice of reconsideration from Lowery, seconded by Inch, which appears to be a long shot to reverse the decision.
