Chapleau Council's looking to eliminate plastic bags in the community.
Mayor Michael Levesque says the move was decided in Monday's Council meeting.
Mayor Levesque emphasizes there are issues with single use plastic locally.
While the federal Liberal government's announced plans to ban single use plastics, Levesque suggests Chapleau's measures won't be the "turtle move" of other levels of government.
The mayor also notes that Council's considering options to encourage participation in the upcoming provincial Day of Action on Litter, coming May 10th, just two weeks before Chapleau's "Clean Up Week" is to be held - further discussions on that are expected in the next Council meeting.
