Encouraging news for local kids in Northwestern Ontario.
Officials say a Manitoba First Nation has backed off its opposition to a Tim Horton children's camp near the Ontario/Manitoba border.
Dave Newnham of the Tim Horton Children's Foundation says it recently signed a lease for a site on Sylvia Lake in Whiteshell Provincial Park.
He says a right-of-way has been cleared and road construction is expected to start shortly.
This would become the closest camp for kids in our area who attend camp on a yearly basis.
