Tackle Industry Opportunities

Rainy River Future Development Corporation is exploring local interest in getting involved in the fishing tackle industry with companies in the U.S.

Client Services Manager Geoff Gillon says they have at least two U.S. firms interesting in doing businesses in Canada and are pitching the idea locally.

"From what we've been able to put together there are people who have been historically involved in the fishing industry and in distribution and representation of products," says Gillon. "There are people we hope in the community that would like to look into that and explore it."

Gillon says a meeting last night was intended as first step in matching potential businesses with the unnamed U.S. firms.
