McGuinty Government Boosts Community Infrastructure
A new multi-use centre in Iroquois Falls will give local artisans a venue to sell and display their goods as well as serve as the new regional tourist information centre.
The Iroquois Falls Community Development Team will build a new Artisan and Crafts Display Centre on Highway 11. The 900 square foot building will showcase local arts and crafts and house the tourist information centre. Construction will begin in the spring and the centre is expected to open in late summer.
