Service cuts not out of the realm of possibility in Fort Frances.
Town council began its budget discussions last night.
Councillor Paul Ryan, who like to see a minimal tax increase, says given the financial challenges facing the town, services may have to be reviewed.
The budget shortfall is currently at about $360-thousand.
Meantime, Fort Frances councillors did remove nearly $1.8 million worth of projects off the capital list.
A sand shelter, some heavy equipment and a dog park among items removed in the first go around.
The list is going back to department heads to identify their priorities before it comes back to council for another review.
