Huffman School Proposal Pitched

A senior's group is pressing its case for making the former Huffman School in Fort Frances an extension of the Sister Kennedy Centre.

Members of the Fort Frances Seniors Advisory Committee outlined its proposal to town council last night.

Spokesperson Allan Bedard says their plan fits with the town's own strategic plan relating to seniors.

Bedard says dollars needed to reopen the building could be taken out of the Centre's reserve fund with various grants helping to cover the ongoing operating costs.

Council will now review the proposal at the committee level
