Fort Frances, ON, Canada / 93.1 The Border

The new names for Colonization Road in Fort Frances will be Agamiing Drive in the East and Sunset Drive in the West.
It came down to a 4-3 vote by town council primarily because of a difference of opinion on an Indigenous name for the road’s east section.

“To not take this opportunity to recognize and honour the Indigenous culture/heritage that is such an important part of our area would be a mistake on our part,” says Behan.
