The idea of a casino in Fort Frances could come to a public vote this fall.
Town council is considering adding a question to the ballot during the municipal elections to determine if residents support council pursuing the idea.
Mayor Roy Avis says it does not mean the town intends to build one, but rather gaging interest about it speaking further with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission.
A public meeting on the question will be held this month before it reaches the October 27 ballot.
