Outreach Centre Opens

A new outreach service centre for family and children's programs is now open in Fort Frances north end.

The centre is located at one of the apartments on Webster Avenue North and was formed with several community agencies.

Outreach worker for the Best Start Hub Christine Badiuk says it was important to have such a centre in the area.

"There's not really anything on this side of town that is easily accessible for people if they don't have a vehicle," says Badiuk. "So we just thought this would be a great place. It's kind of their own little community here, and if they can make it downtown, its right here in their back yard.

The centre is open to parents from across the town at no charge.
