A new sidewalk proposed for Lion's Park in Fort Frances will get built this year.

The Fort Frances' Lions Club's commitment to the project was boosted after the Ontario Trillium Foundation announced the club would be getting $15,000 for the project.

President Jacques Fiset says its makes the park truly accessible to everyone.

"We have enough money set aside to go ahead and finish the project so people who are in wheelchairs can enjoy the park like everyone else," says Fiset.

Fiset says new concrete walkway will go from the children's play-area at the west end to the washrooms and gazebo to the east.
