Fort Frances town council is back on the job.
The town's elected officials were officially sworn-into office last night after being acclaimed in October's municipal election.
Mayor Roy Avis says many challenges await.
"As our population ages we must work with our citizens in supportive assisted living units," says Avis. "The condo project will also be an very important order of business. Doctor shortage has been an ongoing problem and we must have a continual focus in that area."
Avis said council will also work in the best interests of the residents, lobby government for adequate financial support in dealing with aging infrastructure and put attention on business retention."
Avis also assigned councillors to various committees with Sharon Tibbs serving as deputy mayor for the next two years.
