Canfield Questions Tourist Center Closures

Its a mistake.

Kenora Mayor Dave Canfield believes the provincial government made a math error when it decided to close down the three Tourist Information centers at the border crossings in the Kenora-Rainy River area.

Canfield says its clear, the border crossings locally are busier than elsewhere in northwestern Ontario.

Canfield adds that municipal officials have been in talks with the Ministry of Tourism to provide Ontario Travel Information year round at the Discovery Center, but they still haven't taken the city up on that offer.
