Heritage Projects Opened

The second phase of Fort Frances' Heritage Tourism projects gets some recognition of its own today.

Museum Supervisor Pam Cain says events will kick off at later this morning.

"Starting at 10 a.m. at the Ontario Travel Information Centre and then walking the banner route down to the Fort Frances Parkway where we can admire our new interpretive banners and see the tower and Hallet," says Cain, "reflecting the history we are celebrating."

Weather permitting, an official opening of the tower and Hallet takes place at 12 noon with the annual tug-of-war between Fort Frances and International Falls taking place at 12:30 p.m.

A lumberjack show is also scheduled with shows planned for 1 p.m., 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.
