It was a long day of discussions for Fort Frances town councillors Thursday.
The town's elected officials were joined by members of the administrative team in coming up with a new strategic plan.
Mayor Roy Avis says it was an important exercise.
"What we're trying to do is evolve a plan that will make it a better community to live in," says Avis. "It will be better for the future economic viability of our community. It will also deal with the hardships that we're going to be be faced with in the near future."
Councillors also discussed suggestions from local residents on such things as bus service, eliminating heavy trucks down Scott Street and water metres.
