Tournament Huge to Local Economy


There's new proof that the Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship has a significant impact on the Rainy River district economy.

Rainy River Futures Development Corporation consultant Tannis Drysdale says a survey of out-of-town visitors to this year's event identified a total impact of over $460-thousand.

Drysdale says that figure equates to the creation of between six to seven full times jobs every year.
