Heritage Project Ahead of Schedule

Work to relocate the tugboat Hallet and former fire tower from Pither's Point Park to the Fort Frances waterfront is slightly ahead of schedule.

Community Services Manager George Bell says much of the work by Tom Jones Construction so far has focused around creating the new resting places for the local landmarks.

"According to their schedule they're a little bit ahead on the pile driving and on the concrete work," says Bell, "but they haven't started pressure washing the tower yet. They were supposed to have that completed by this time, but they've moved on the foundation and piling instead."

Bell says work on the banners and signage has also started.
