About Fort Frances
Fort Frances is a community rich in history, culture, and natural beauty. As a border town, we sit at a unique crossroads, where tradition meets innovation. Rooted in Treaty 3 territory, we acknowledge that this land is the traditional home and continuing land use area of the Anishinaabe people and the Métis Nation, whose contributions and presence have long shaped this region.
Fort Frances has been a cornerstone of Northwestern Ontario's industrial landscape. Our strength has always been in our diversity—thriving in forestry, mining, agriculture, and tourism. With access to affordable energy and land, our community continues to foster entrepreneurial spirit and innovation. We are a place where craftsmanship is honoured, where people build with their hands and their hearts, creating something greater from the land we call home.
