Area food banks were the big winners at the yesterday's Great Canadian Chili Cook-off put on by the Fort Frances Chamber of Commerce.
Residents who taste tested the various chili recipes brought several pounds of food while Link-Line donated $5,000 to local food banks.
Chamber president Cathy Emes says those contributions are important.
"There's members of our community that are less fortunate than those of us that have time to do these kind of community projects," says Emes, "and we want to show the people of Fort Frances that the Chamber and many of our corporate sponsors have them in our heart."
CIBC was voted by the public as having the best chili while the Fort Frances Public Library was the judge's choice.
