Youth Jail Decision Delayed

Several communities in Northwestern Ontario are still waiting to find out the location of a youth jail in the region.
The Ministry of Public Safety was expected to make a decision this spring.
However, ministry spokesperson Julia Noonan says officials are reviewing what the current and future needs are in respect to the custody of young offenders in the province.
Dryden, Atikokan, Red Lake and Sioux Lookout are among the communities vying for the privately-run youth jail.
