Relay For Life in Fort Tonight


Organizers of Fort Frances' Relay for Life are promising the fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society to be the most exciting its ever been.

It's being held tonight at Fort Frances High School.

Committee member John Homer says they also have an indoor option if the weather turns nasty.

"We have access to the gym," says Homer, "and we will be inside the gym if it rains. That's one of the great things about this new venue. As much as the (Pither's) Point was a great place. If it rained, we had to be outside in the rain. We don't have to be there this year."

Opening ceremonies will begin at 6 p.m. with the survivor's walk kicking off the 12-hour event at 7 p.m.
