Tourist Centre Closure Not Dead Issue


Local officials aren't giving up on trying to keep the province's tourist information centres in Fort Frances, Kenora and Rainy River open.

They were to shut down for good Monday.

Kenora-Rainy River MPP Sarah Campbell told area municipal representatives last week she's still hopeful a compromise with government can be reached.

Campbell says she met with Ontario's Tourism Minister Michael Chan delivering several letters and petitions all supporting the centres remain open.
