Marina Fees Drop

A break for boaters mooring at the Sorting Gap Marina.

For a second straight year, fees to rent a boat slip at the Fort Frances waterfront are dropping.

The residential rate drops $27 to $375 while non-residents will pay just about $468 next summer - a $35 dollar decrease.

Rates were dropped 15 per cent last season.

The town's hoping a further reduction will encourage more boaters to tie up their boats at the marina.

Just a third of slips available have been rented out the past two summers.
