Buy Canada Discussed Tonight

A request by the Ontario Federation of Labour to adopt a Buy Canada policy comes back to Fort Frances town council at its meeting tonight.

The OFL asked the town back in May to accept the policy as a way of ensuring local jobs are created by the federal-provincial governments infrastructure programs.

Also tonight, councillors will receive updates on work taking place around the community.

This includes construction of the new library and technology centre, the planned relocation of the tugboat Hallet and former fire tower to the waterfront and local road projects.

The public portion of tonight's meeting gets under at about 6:25 p.m. following an in-camera discussion pertaining to Sunny Cove Camp and First Nations Property Acquisitions.
