More Complaints heard about Fort Frances Border Crossing

The lack of the consistency at the Fort Frances border crossing was the topic of the day at the Northern Ontario Tourist Outfitters Association Conference in Dryden yesterday.

Regional Campowners called the crossing the worst in Canada and demanded an immediate shake-up at the staffing level.

A suggestion was made to have American visitors file formal complaints, an idea quickly brushed aside by attendee Gerry Cariou.

Campowners claimed hundreds of visitors get turned away a year, even though they followed the proper procedures to visit our country.
