The construction season is now upon us.
Tonight, Fort Frances town council will get an update on work taking place or planned this year from Operations and Facilities Manager Doug Brown. So far, the only road work underway is along Victoria Avenue and Nelson Street near AbitibiBowater's biomass boiler. Union Gas has also started its replacement of old gas lines and metres.
A number of by-laws are also before town councillors. One formalizes the contract with Tom Jones Corporation for the second phase of the Heritage Tourism Project. This includes the moving of the tugboat Hallet and former fire tower to the waterfront. Council is also expected to support a by-law allowing authorized town staff to perform civil marriages after hours and on weekends.
During the in-camera portion session of their meeting, councillors will be discussing an issue surrounding the Kiwanis' Sunny Cove Camp. Later council will look at a infrastructure grant application for the park.
The public portion of tonight's meeting begins at around 6:25 p.m.
