Fort Frances, ON, Canada / 93.1 The Border
May 11, 2021 | 7:06 AM
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.
Councillor Mike Behan says that section of the road deserved an Indigenous name with its proximity to Couchiching First Nation.
“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.

Nebraska landed among the most lucrative radio broadcasting, multimedia and sponsorship contracts in college sports the last two times it negotiated deals with what’s now Learfield IMG College.
But now that its contract with the multimedia conglomerate is set to expire June 30, there are lots of moving parts and players vying behind the scenes for the business and no definitive signals on which way Nebraska will go.
At stake is a contract that currently brings in a minimum guarantee of $13.55 million a year in broadcasting rights, plus additional revenue sharing from advertising sponsorships, stadium signage, program ads, sponsorships of coaches’ programs, and more. A decision is expected soon.
