Fort Frances Mayor Speaks Out About Hydro Dams

Fort Frances is among communities wanting a special provincial funding program to be restored.
The money, given to municipalities with hydro dams in lieu of taxes, is being reduced over the next four years.
Mayor Roy Avis says it’s just the move by the province that will hurt the town in the long-term.
Avis says Fort Frances will lose about $87,000, which is compounded by reductions in other provincial funding and higher costs for such things as policing.
