User Fees Go Up in Fort Frances


The cost to access most town programs and services in Fort Frances will go up about 3 per cent next year.

Bag tags were not touched, but the minimum charge at the landfill goes will go from 16 to 18-dollars.

Operations and Facilities Manager Doug Brown says it will help offset rising costs due to recycling.

Fees at use the Townsend Theatre will also not increase, but Community Services Manager George Bell says they are looking at upping a surtax applied to ticket sales to raise money for facility upgrades.
