Aquatics and Fitness – The Fall recreation programming session continues to be impacted in
the following ways:

We are working hard to mitigate the challenges caused by these reductions and are continuing to enhance the programming we offer, using the resources that we have available. The Fall’s pool schedule can be found in the Town’s Recreator: https://fortfrances.ca/sites/fortfrances.ca/files/recreator_-_fall_2022_1.pdf

The Town is making all the efforts to maintain the service level as much as possible with limited existing resources. As soon as we have enough resources in place, we will get back to our normal operation.

We thank you for your patience and understanding. Please be assured that we will continue to monitor the situation and work to keep the citizens informed through 93.1 The Border and our Town of Fort Frances social media
