Mayor Roy Avis says he made the best of an opportunity to speak with Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty.
The Fort Frances Mayor joined his counterparts from Kenora, Dryden and Sioux Lookout last Friday to sit down with the premier in Kenora.
"We were able to sit down for about 30 to 40 minutes with the premier," says Avis, "and just have a good general discussion on what's going on in northwestern Ontario. Where we need help in order to help our economy out. It was all very positive and very good dialogue."
Avis says McGuinty made no commitments, but showed a sincere concern for the north.
