Canada Day Parade Saved


There will be a Canada Day parade in Fort Frances.

The Fort Frances Chamber of Commerce has announced it's taking over planning of the event of the July 1st event.

The event was in jeopardy of not taking place after the Fun in the Sun Committee announced in March it didn't have the people needed to continue on.

Manager Anthony Mason says there's some consideration to moving it to a late afternoon start to avoid conflicts with the Dragon Boat Festival also taking place July 1st.

Registration for the parade can be made by calling the Chamber office, 274-5773.
