Essay Winner Makes Presentation

Another winner of the town of Fort Frances' local government week essay contest made her say at last night's council meeting.

Grade 10 student Carly Pruys commented on the town's friendly atmosphere among its business community as a plus for the town.

"Whenever you walk into the majority of the stores here you will almost always be greeted with a 'How are you today? Can I help you with something?', and a smile," said Pruys. "It seems that the many people will go out of their way to help you if you're in need."

Pruys added that even though young people do move away, many return in later years.
