March Record Set

Last week's Take Back the Night March in Fort Frances has become part of a world record.

The more than 80 people who participated in Friday night's march were among more than 173-million people who gathered at more than 3-thousand similar marches held around the world last week, becoming the largest mobilization of human beings in recorded history.

The local event, organized by high school students at Fort Frances and Atikokan, was an effort to speak out against violence, domestic assault and abuse in the district.
