The Lake of the Woods Development Commission is being grilled
about its spending.
Members of the Commission appeared before the city's budget committee yesterday.
Fred Wright is one of the directors and admits it was a learning year with
both the Whitecap Pavillion and Discovery Center coming on line.
He says their goal going forward is to better match their costs with their
revenues.
Wright says the Discovery Center cost about 30 thousand dollars more to operate than expected, in part because they handed out more tourist brochures due to the closure of the Tourist Information Center at the
Ontario/Manitoba Border.
