Council Ready to Help Club


Fort Frances councillors says they'll willing to work with the International Early Iron Car Club.

The club cancelled its annual Scott Street Show and Shine, alleging a lack of co-operation by the town.

Councillor Andrew Hallikas say no one on council was even aware there were problems.

"In all of this, I don't think one person on council is aware that (the club) had grievances with us or that (the club) was upset," says Hallikas. "To my knowledge, nobody from the club has talked to anybody on council."

In the past, the club's event was, in part, organized with the assistance of the Fort Frances Downtown Business Improvement Association.

Among the club's concerns was the process it took last year to obtain a lottery license used by the Fort Frances High School auto club.
