Tourism Officials Concerned about Ontario Tourism Bureau closures

Local Tourism officials aren't sure what impact the closure of the Ontario Tourism office on at the Manitoba Border will have on their operations.

Last week, the province announced it was permanently closing three tourist bureaus in northwestern Ontario.

Kenora's Tourism Development Officer Heather Paterson says the closure presents some challenges and some opportunities for them.

Fort Frances and Rainy River will also see their Tourism Ontario offices closed down this year.
