New Sign for Tourist Centre Suggested

The town of Fort Frances feels its time someone else take the lead in lobbying for improve access access to the province's tourist information centre.

The number of visitors to the Fort Frances facility has decline since the relocation of the Canada Customs facility.

Councillor Rick Wiedenhoeft feels the town already worked too hard on trying to find a solution without success.

"If members of the region want to pursue this and take the lead on it, I think it's time for someone else to take the ball on this," says Wiedenhoeft. "We've spent too much time, too much money, too much brain power at this issue and we're getting no where with it."

The Ministry of Tourism is proposing to erect a new sign directing visitors across the border to the centre, but town officials say it doesn't address problems of visitors getting to the facility.
