The town of Fort Frances has a date with a court judge this morning.
Town lawyers will be asking the judge to consider a notice of motion filled in court last week that would allow the town the ability to continue operating Pither's Point Park. A lease signed by the town in 1908 expires at the end of this month.
The town is asking for the right to continue operating the park until litigation between area native bands who surrendered title to the land, and the federal, provincial and municipal governments is resolved, or for as long as an Ontario Order in Council that declared the site a park - remains.
