Parade Route Designation Requested

Fort Frances town councillors are being asked to adopt an official parade route for future events.

The Fort Frances Police Services Board is recommending they start in the east end of town around the Memorial Sports Centre or Resolute Forest Product's wood lot, travelling down either Scott or Front Streets, going no further than Mowatt Avenue.

The board says this would limit interference with traffic at major intersections and the need for officers to control those area.

The OPP gave notice this year it would be charging parade organizers if their services were required.
