Canada Day Committee Pitches Funding Request



The Fort Frances Canada Day Committee has presented its case for $10-thousand in bridge funding from town council.

Chair Teresa Hazel says the festival is a worthy investment, but the committee is doing its part to attract additional funding.

"We do have a request letter going out to businesses, service clubs and individuals to ask for their help this year in sponsoring," says Hazel. "The Eisenhauers, who are well known community couple, have already come forward with a donation."

Hazel says the money from the town would be paid back as funding from other sources was obtained.
