Chamber Remains Positive With Mill Shutdown

The idling of operations at the Fort Frances mill top of mind for area business leaders.

Fort Frances Chamber of Commerce held its annual general meeting last night.

President Mark Caron says while the loss of jobs is disappointing and the impact of the idling of the kraft mill and a paper machine will be wide-spread, he's confident the community will over-come.

Caron says the year, still, has been a positive one for the chamber with the hiring of a new manager and a relocation to new offices.
