Roller Derby Fundraiser


Efforts to develop a women's roller derby team in Fort Frances are now turning to a place to play.

About thirty women have signed up to be a part of the new team and are holding practices every Wednesday at 52 Canadians Rink.

But organizer Crystal Caul says they would like a more permanent home.

"Ultimately we like to purchase our own space," says Caul, "as derby has no set schedule. There is no season. We can play 12 months of the year. Right now we would like to be able to afford to lease space."

The group is about to embark on a fundraising campaign to raise the necessary funds.
