Fight To Reopen Tourism Centres Continues


It's not going to happen this year, but the fight to get the region's tourism centres re-opened isn't stopping.

Kenora-Rainy River MPP Sarah Campbell is again refuting the Tourism Ministry's reasons behind closing the centres, including those Fort Frances and Rainy River.

Campbell says the government's now pointing to the use of GPS units as a reason.

She disputes that claim saying her use of GPS in the area often fail to identify local landmarks that would help travellers.

Campbell admits its been frustrating, but isn't giving up hope the centres can be reopened next year.
