Youth from Evergreen Brighten Fort William Business District
THUNDER BAY – The Fort William Business District (BIA) is working to restore the downtown core in Fort William. One of the projects is making the area brighter and cleaner. Today youth from the RMYC and The Community Arts and Heritage Education Project (CAHEP) were showing off a window painting project in the downtown core. The building, at 507 Victoria Avenue East is owned by Mr. Habib, and he granted permission to the FWBD to paint the window.
The BIA has a mandate to improve, beautify and maintain public lands and buildings within the BIA.
Pam Cain, from CAHEP shares, “We have a bunch of youth who are in the neighbourhood, and we are working to engage them into the project. We are adding some colour to the neighbourhood.
Tina Huk states, “The BIA wanted to do something to enhance the look of our downtown. We wanted to bring some new light and colour to the area”.
Business owners in the area interested in having their windows brightened up, can contact Tina Huk at the Fort William Business District office at www.fortwilliambusinessdistrict.com.
