No Weddings Please

The owner of La Place Rendez-Vous is calling on Fort Frances town councillors to reconsider their decision to allow catered weddings at Sunny Cove Camp.

Paul Noonan told councillors last night that move puts the town in direct competition with businesses already offering similar services.

"Our banquet facilities as well as others in the community including the Legion, Curling Club and Arena are no where near maxed out," said Noonan. "Opening up an additional facility will only serve to negatively impact on all of us."

Noonan suggests the town consider alternative revenue generating initiatives such as opening Sunny Cove to public camping.
