The town of Fort Frances is making another appeal to have other communities in the Rainy River district help fund its municipal airport.
Town officials plan to bring forward a resolution to this weekend's Rainy River District Municipal Association meeting in Stratton seeking support for their idea of a regional airport.
The resolution says the airport provides a vital link to residents in the western portion of the district and should be supported financially by all, including First Nations and residents in the unorganized communities.
Atikokan would be excluded by a cost-sharing agreement because it operates own airport.
