Mayor And Councillors In Toronto

The town of Fort Frances is seeking some financial help from the province to offset the tax rebate to Resolute Forest Products.

Mayor Roy Avis, along with Councillor Rick Wiedenhoef and John Albanese intend to broach the idea with Municipal Affairs Minister Linda Jeffery while they're at the joint meeting of Ontario Good Road Association and the Rural Ontario Municipalities Association meetings in Toronto this week.

The trio also has meeting with Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli regarding a proposal to amalgamate local electricity distribution companies.

They're also meeting with the Natural Resources parliamentary assistant regarding the area's wood rights.
