The Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship is getting some financial help from the town, but not the amount it hoped for.The organizing committee wanted $5-thousand to offset the loss an annual FEDNOR grant.
Mayor Roy Avis says the best they can give is $2-thousand.
The town is also denying the committee's request for a more long-term funding arrangement for the event.
Councillor Ken Perry says with the town facing financial pressures from reductions in their own federal and provincial money, it's becoming increasingly difficult to help out local groups.
