Canada Day Festivities in Doubt


This year's Canada Day and Fun in the Sun activities in Fort Frances could be in doubt.

Monday, council committed five-thousand dollars towards events, but member Scott Turvey says that's half of what the organizing committee wanted.

"If we don't get cash sponsorship from the business community or a private investor within two weeks, we will be, as a committee, giving Fun in the Sun back to the town in order for it to do whatever the town can do." says Turvey.

Turvey says past events have encountered shortfalls picked up by the committee, something they can no longer afford.
