The town of Fort Frances is going making it easier for people to get married in a civil ceremony.
A proposed change to current by-laws will see staff authorized to perform civil marriages allowed to do so after hours at the Civic Centre and on weekends at other locations.
Town clerk Glenn Treftlin says demand led to the change in policy.
"There has been a number of requests over the years since we started performing marriages," says Treflin. "I understand there have been fourteen requests for marriages other than what we were able to perform before under the current bylaw."
The cost of an after-hours civil marriage is $300 while a weekend ceremony will be $350.
