New Campaign to Save Tourism Centers


The campaign to save tourist information centers in Kenora, Fort France and Rainy River is going to be stepped up today.

Kenora-Rainy River M.P.P. Sarah Campbell will be heading out to the Visitors Center at the Ontario/Manitoba border to launch the latest initiative this morning.

Yesterday in the Ontario legislature, Campbell asked Minister of Tourism Michael Chan in the to explain the reason behind the closures.

Minister Chan was evasive in his answer but did says the provincial government has put more than 68 million dollars in tourism initiatives in

northern Ontario since 2003.
