The Ontario Federation of Labour will roll its "Drive to Work" Caravan into Fort Frances later this evening.

The caravan is intended to draw attention to the need to sustain jobs across the province.

President Wayne Samuelson says they want to give people affected by the economic downturn a voice.

"My sense in travelling across Ontario is that people what to have their say," says Samuelson. "They want to be able to tell their government that they can let all of this roll on by. There needs to be clear action in how to deal with all of this."

The group will hold a BBQ at Pither's Point Park at 5 PM before heading to the Civic Centre where Samuelson will address Fort Frances town council.
