More Questions Over Centres Closings


The provincial government is again being pressed for answers to why tourist information centres in Fort Frances, Kenora and Rainy River are being closed.

During debate at Queen's Park, Kenora-Rainy River MPP Sarah Campbell says the centres are an important role in the region's tourism industry.

She says Tourism Minister Michael Chan needs to come clean explain why centres in her riding are closing while Pigeon River stays opens.

The Minister's Parliamentary Assistance Kim Craitor says Pigeon River is being left open because of it serves an important American market.
