More Border Crossing Complaints

Border crossings in Fort Frances and Rainy River continue to be a bone of contention for the area's tourism officials.


Executive Director of Ontario Sunset Country Gerry Cariou says area lodges are reporting large declines in American visitors, and point to the area's border as a contributing factors.

Cariou believes millions of dollars in revenue has been lost by enforcement of rules that restrict Americans with prior drunk driving convictions from entering Canada.
