A recent change in how the Ministry of Natural Resources handles bear calls a concern to the town of Fort Frances.The Ministry is still manning its Bear-Wise hotline, but won't sent out personnel.
Speaking to the Police Services Board Friday, Mayor Roy Avis says it's going to a financial hit if town staff have to deal with the complaints.
By-law staff are trained to deal with bears right now, but the town has no agreement yet with the Ministry to take on those responsibilities.
