A call for stronger cooperation in the Rainy River district.
Speaking at yesterday's meeting of the Fort Frances Chamber of Commerce, president Cathy Emes says the current economic situation requires that cooperation more than ever.
"We with the uncertain surrounding our largest employer, it is now time to strengthen our commitments to work together in partnership to develop a plan for the future," says Emes, "to ensure our businesses and citizens have the opportunity to remain in their communities and they can thrive and prosper."
Last year, the chamber worked with area groups on a business expansion and retention plan. Emes says recommendations from that are currently being acted upon.
