Fort Flag to Fly in Kenora

(Thunderhawks in action during the 2011 Allan Cup tournament in Kenora)


The Fort Frances town flag will soon be flying high over the city of Kenora.

Mayor Roy Avis says it's the outcome of a bet he made with Kenora Mayor Dave Canfield during the recent Allan Cup tournament.

"If Fort Frances beat Kenora, Kenora would fly our flag for a week," says Avis. "If it worked the other way, we would been flying Kenora's flag so I have to congratulate the Fort Frances team for the win. I'll be looking forward to presenting (Mayor Canfield) with our flag (this week)."

The Thunderhawks eliminated Kenora from the tournament in a playoff game.
