Outstanding Items

5.1

Outcomes of the Public Consultation Event and Design phase - Conference Call with SMM

- A further discussion was held regarding the idea of washrooms and the ability to utilize existing facilities at the Fort Frances Museum to satisfy the needs for public washrooms. A preliminary cost estimate was presented for the construction of a washroom structure and the drawbacks to this. The idea of utilizing the space for a fort was also further discussed. It was determined that the use of this space for a fort would require more in depth evaluation and consultation than can be completed during the timeline of this project but that if a group of residents proposed the idea of constructing a fort in Town to Council, it is something that would be considered.
