Go Local Promoted

Efforts continue to increase awareness of the Go Local program.

It was launched to the Fort Frances area last month with the intent of expanding across the Rainy River district at a later date.

Newly hired Program Coordinator Tonya Dolph says it's not about getting people to stop shopping outside the region, but rather to get them to shift more of their spending to local businesses.


Proponents says a shift of a small portion of the dollars now being spent elsewhere could help create businesses and new jobs.
