Newspaper
The Fort Frances Times has captured the stories and the history of the town of Fort Frances and the Rainy River District for over 125 years, one of the longest-running businesses in the region. With many hundreds of employees, tens of thousands of papers, and millions of inches of award-winning writing, the Fort Frances Times has been an integral part of the community in many, many ways, and has evolved over the years to offer a wide gamut of print services and products, and later, ground breaking, industry-leading web development design and hosting. Locally owned for almost its entire existence, the Times was purchased from the Cumming family in 2019 by London Publishing, but continues to be a truly community-based newspaper and publishing company.
