Niagara Falls city councillors will consider a request by a local teacher to help welcome a young boy who was critically injured back home.

Last March, Michael Folino's former student Ryker was involved in a horrible accident that left him with life altering burns .

Since that time he has been recovering at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto.

Folino would like to see his Team Ryker flag fly over City Hall and to possibly arrange for a fire truck to escort Ryker from Mountain Road to his home when the young boy leaves the hospital possibly sometime next month.
