Rainy River New Owner of Tourist Info Center

The town of Rainy River now owns the former Ontario Travel Information Centre in the community.

The province agreed to hand over the building to the township at no cost.

Mayor Deb Ewald says they hope to re-open the facility next spring as a tourist centre, but want to talk with the Rainy River Chamber of Commerce and Lake of the Woods township about being involved.

The centre was one of three closed in May as part of cost-saving measures by the province.
