Curling Club Gets Funds

The Fort Frances Curling Club is getting a quarter of a million dollars from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund towards the installation of a new geothermal energy system.

The system proposes to use the marsh area around the facility to provide clean electricity and operate the club's heating and cooling system.

Cost of the project is estimated at about $560-thousand dollars.

The club has also applied for funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
