Pither's Point Decision

The town of Fort Frances has been granted the right to continue its use and maintenance of Pither's Point Park.

Mayor Roy Avis says a Superior Court judge has ruled in favour of the town's request until either the issue of ownership can be resolved by the courts or by a further court order.

"We're granted an injunctive relief regarding the Point Park," says Avis, "and we will be trying to maintain it to the status we've had in the past making sure its looked after for all people to enjoy."

Avis doesn't see the granting of the motion putting a halt to their discussions with the area First Nations who are laying claim to the park site.
