Harper Recognized Tug of War


The Prime Minister is giving recognition to the annual Pulling for Peace Tug of War between Fort Frances and International Falls.

Fort Frances councillor Andrew Hallikas says, in a letter to both Mayors Roy Avis and Shawn Mason, Prime Minister Harper also signs a proclamation, declaring July 2 as Peaceful Borders Day.

Harper also encourages both sides to continue the spirit of international competition alive by involving and inspiring citizens in both communities in local activities.
