Some major improvements to a Fort Frances landmark.
The federal government is spending more than 246-thousand dollars on a variety of upgrades to its Scott Street building - home to several departments including Canada Post and Service Canada.
Conservative MP for Kenora Greg Rickford says the improvements are for both safety and security reasons.
"We believe this will be a substantial upgrade at 301 Scott Street," says Rickford, "and provide ultimately better service to residents of Fort Frances. It includes handrail upgrades and lock stone repairs to increase the safety for residents accessing the building. There will also be a security system upgrade to improve security."
Rickford says some of the work has already started, but expects most of it to occur next year.
