Policies Impacting Tents, Trailers And Street Names Before Council Tonight

There could be new limits on the number of tents and trailers a Fort Frances homeowner can have in their yard.

A proposed zoning by-law change allows for one tent and three trailers of various kinds before town approval is needed for more.

There is a provision for an additional camper if it’s someone who is visiting temporarily.

The town initially started looking at a tenting policy after the Family Centre last summer set up a number of tents around the Fort Frances Volunteer Bureau for the homeless. The Bureau’s property is zoned residential.

The other policy relates to the naming of street names as the town considers renaming Colonization Road.

The proposed policy is intended to provide the town with a guideline to following on future requests.

Both policies come before town council tonight for approval.
