The Town would like to thank the members of the community who attended the second Public Open House at La Place Rendezvous the evening of July 6, 2023!
The Town of Fort Frances Mayor, Council and Staff would like to thank everyone that came to our first annual Volunteer Appreciation event!
Mayor Hallikas gave a wonderful speech and thanked all volunteers in the municipality for their hard work.
A special thank you goes out to Dr. Bob Lidkea for the use of the Kiwanis Club grill and to Patrick Briere and the guys from Public Works who helped set up, cook, serve and pack up.
Note: This is a bit of a long update as it includes an explanation of how the Town’s recycling program operates.
Use of the public and commercial compactors continue to operate on a 24/7 basis.
A Request for Tender is planned to be issued the first week of July for the construction of a new recycle depot.
Once a new recycle depot is built, curbside collection of recyclables will resume.
