Boat Race Proposed


An event that promotes the district's fur trading heritage is being explored.

Rainy River councillor Gord Armstrong is suggesting a race involving Voyageur long boats between Atikokan and Rainy River.

Armstrong has been talking to area municipal leaders on how to make it happen.

Armstrong would like to see it happen next summer, but says there's still a lot of details work out.
