  • 2021 Atikokan Crown Land Route Book
    2021 Atikokan Crown Land Route Book You are receiving this document because your crew has chosen to paddle in the Crown Lands or you are a crew of 9 to 11 people which can only travel in the Crown Lands. The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources requires a route selection well in advance of your trip. You must select your preferred route by the day your final payment is due so that we may submit it to the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) with enough notice for your trip. Canada is comprised of 89% Crown Land. It is all un-owned land, coast to coast in Canada. Locals refer to the area we paddle simply as “the Bush.” The routes in this document allow us to better accommodate your crew and give our Interpreters a general idea of where you want to travel so they may plan accordingly. Please review this document with your crew and make your route selection. When you arrive at the Atikokan base, your crew and Interpreter will have time to decide the specifics of your trip ranging from daily distances, where you’ll camp each night, and options to extend or shorten certain sections of your route. While the exact route may have some flexibility, assigned entry points and exit points will not change and major route edits must be pre-approved. The day length in each section is to be used as a guideline. They do not need to be strictly adhered to. For example, if your crew wants to paddle more distance, they can select a route that suggests more days.

  • Rainy River Future Development Corporation (RRFDC)
    Rainy River Future Development Corporation (RRFDC) REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS CONSULTING SERVICES 1. BACKGROUND ON THE MILL PROPERTY For nearly a century, the Town of Fort Frances and surrounding regions has been largely dependent economically on the pulp and paper mill in Fort Frances. In the 1980’s the operation employed 1,500 people working directly at the mill or indirectly harvesting and hauling in the surrounding woodlands. The paper mill properties were also responsible for approximately $2 million in municipal taxation. The mill ceased operations in 2014 and the properties upon which it operated are currently in the process of redevelopment as part of economic revitalization efforts in Fort Frances and across the Rainy River District. 2. BACKGROUND ON FORT FRANCES / AAZHOGAN RENEWAL PLANNING COMMITTEE 2670568 Ontario Ltd. acquired the former Fort Frances mill properties in July 2019 and remain the owners of the property today. 2670568 and Rainy River First Nations (RRFN) have subsequently formed a joint venture with the intent to collaboratively redevelop the mill properties. Ziibi Anishinaabe Investments Inc. is the operating entity assigned by RRFN to act on their behalf for this redevelopment work. The joint venture operates as Aazhogan Renewal. In June 2020, Aazhogan Renewal and the Town of Fort Frances agreed to work together to address anticipated planning and development requirements associated with the mill properties, most notably with amendments that may be required with the Town of Fort Frances Official Plan and the ambitions of Aazhogan Renewal. The Town of Fort Frances and Aazhogan Renewal agreed to work together through a newly formed Fort Frances / Aazhogan Renewal Planning Committee (“the Committee”).
