Skate Sharpening Proposal Denied

Fort Frances council rejected last night a proposal from a area man to establish a skate-sharpening operation at the Memorial Sports Centre.

Councillor Andrew Hallikas says Paul Cousineau's proposal wasn't fully complete.

"The proposal didn't match what was original given to us," says Hallikas. "It wasn't clear to us what items, for instance, were to be sold. It wasn't a complete proposal."

Some councillors also felt the town would be unfairly subsidizing a business to operate in the Sports Centre if they accepted the proposal.
