Pither's Point Park Position Outlined


The town of Fort Frances has used a high-gloss pamphlet to outline its position regarding the issues around Pither's Point Park and surrounding lands.

The pamphlet was mailed to residents this week.

It says the town has made many attempts to settle disputes with area First Nations, including offering what it claims to be a financial proposal based on fair market value, but all of its proposals have been rejected.

The town recently won a court motion to continue operating the park which First Nations are attempting to appeal.
