The town of Fort Frances is headed to court this week over Pither's Point Park.

Legal representatives for the town will be asking a court judge Wednesday to consider a notice of motion that would allow the town the ability to continue operating the park until litigation between area native bands and the federal, provincial and municipal governments is resolved, or for as long as an Ontario Order in Council that declared the area a park - remains

The notice of motion was filed in court last week. A 99-year leased signed by the town is set to expire at the end of this month.
