Local History Promoted

The story of a woman from the Fort Frances area, who's a big part of Victoria, British Columbia's history, is being told.

Isabella Mainville lived here in the early 1800's before marrying Charles Ross, an employee with the Hudson Bay company and moving west.

Fern Perkins, a retired teacher, is in the area to talk about her great-great-great grandmother.

Perkins spoke at area schools and during a community event last night.
