Sunset Country Upset by New App Development

The Sunset Country Travel Association is furious that the Federal government is funding a new tourism app for the region.

Kenora M.P. Greg Rickford announced 160 thousand dollars to the Dryden Development Corporation to develop the mobile app.

Gerry Cariou is executive director of Sunset Country and says they are basically duplicating an app they already have in the development stages.

Cariou adds that Sunset Country has developed its app at a fraction of the cost of the grant announced last week by FedNor.
