A citizen's ad hoc committee looking at the future of the Dionne Quints home had its preliminary meeting Wednesday morning to set up a basic method to find a new site and actually make the move.

"We have no alternative," explained Councillor Mark King who sits on the committee.

"It has to be moved so it depends on where it's moved to and what actually happens to the building.

"My preference is that it go to East Ferris, and a lot of the discussion was that it should go back to where it originally came from." 

Roch Legros and Russell Robinson of North Bay, presently own the former Dionne Farmstead property in Corbeil.

They are offering to accommodate the relocation of the Dionne Homestead to the former Dionne Farmstead at no cost or fee.

The two are also pledging $10,000 of their own personal funds to help finance the move and site preparation.
