Council Meeting Time Stays the Same


There will be no early start to Fort Frances council meetings any time soon.

Mayor Roy Avis floated the idea of pushing back the start of meetings an extra half-hour to 5 p.m. during the summer months.

Councillor Ken Perry says that will only hurt his attendance.

"The sooner we start these meetings the more time I have to take time off work," says Perry. "It's going to get to a point where I won't take anymore time off work and that means I won't be on council."

Councillor Paul Ryan says if the change couldn't be accommodating to all councillors there was no reason to make a switch.

Council has opted to table to idea until further notice.
