The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing appears to be supporting the town of Fort Frances in its dispute over the funding of the Rainy River District Social Services Administration Board.
In a response to the town's concerns, the Ministry states in a letter that the benefit to area municipalities from the province taking on more of the costs to social services program amounts to over $918-thousand this year.
Fort Frances is to see a benefit of $420-thousand.
The DSSAB has reportedly stated the savings are only a fraction of those dollars.
