A $200,000 donation to the Heritage Railway and Carousel Company was rejected by North Bay city council Tuesday night. Jamie Lowery told The Nugget after the two-and-a-half hour meeting he was surprised to see the majority of council reject the donation on behalf of Invest North Bay to the North Bay Heritage Railway and Carousel Company. “I take my hats off to them that they can raise $1 million in the North Bay community. The railway and carousel company are in the process of raising $1 million to construct the Redpath Mining Heritage Railway Station. Lowery said he put the motion forward to “recognize the prosperity of the City of North Bay through its rich railroad history, scenic waterfront and the tireless efforts of our volunteers.
