Fort Frances wants the province to help small municipalities struggling to pay for policing.
In a resolution heading to the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association for support, the town points to economic and financial challenges that impact on that ability to pay.
Councillor Andrew Hallikas, who serves on the NOMA board, says for some communities, it's becoming too bearable.
The town's also concerned what the impact will be when OPP officers receive an 8.5 per cent wage increase next year.
