Church Seeks By-law Exemption


A Fort Frances church is seeking a partial exemption from the town's calender parking by-law.

In a letter to the town, Pastor Jeff Plett of the Evangelical Fellowship Church asks for the exemption on Sunday mornings and on religious holidays.

The request comes after a number of church goers were issued tickets for parking on the wrong side of Webster Avenue earlier this month.

Plett says parishioners complied with the law the next week, but some were forced to walk long distances to get to church.
