We the people of Fort Frances are submitting our objection to the zoning by-law (file B1-2021) from RRDASSAB for 820 Fifth Street East.

We feel that the destruction of the green space and park is not in the best interest of the citizens of Fort Frances. 

It is a well used park that has been green space for over 6 decades. It has been used by the community for many activities such as soccer, exercise, picnic area, dog exercise, golf lessons, football and just a great safe area for kids to play.

We are not objecting to the school retrofit that would allow the repourposing of the existing school into senior apartments and a day nursery. We are specifically objecting to section 4 where it states the potential of 5 to 8 multi resident buildings. We feel this area could be utilized better for the benefit of the community and surrounding residents.

Please help save our park and green space.
