Managers Put Wage Hike On Hold

Senior management with the town of Fort Frances is forgoing a wage increase next year.

They were to get a 2 per hike in a previously approval deal.

CAO Mark McCaig says given financial challenges facing the town in Resolute Forest Products recent announcement to idle part of its mill in Fort Frances and the company's pending appeal of its assessment, managers suggested they not take the increase.

The move is expected to save the town $43-thousand.
