Dryden Visits Fort Frances

Former Liberal Cabinet Minister and NHL hall-of-famer Ken Dryden visits Fort Frances today and tomorrow.

It's part of a cross country discussion on poverty.

Dryden says he hopes to get a feel for northwestern Ontario's concerns.

"When you talk about poverty it covers a lot of ground" says Dryden. "It covers housing, it covers income support, child care, first nations, single parents. It covers a lot of ground."

Dryden will speak at a party function tonight at Little Beaver Snow Park before holding the discussion on poverty tomorrow at the La Place Rendez-Vous.
