Camp Purchase Finalized

The town of Fort Frances has formally agreed to purchasing Sunny Cove Camp.

Tuesday night, councillors gave their blessing to purchasing the more than 50-year old camp from the Fort Frances Kiwanis Club for one dollar.

Mayor Roy Avis says the acquisition will be a good one for the area.

"I think that council and administration have review very diligently the acquisition of this," Says Avis, "and I think over the next few years it will prove to be a win-win situation for this community and the district."

Immediate plans by the town call for establishing an advisory committee and upgrading the park's water system.
