Dan Belluz, left, chair of the Rainy River District School Board, handed over the keys to the old Sixth Street School to Steve Latimer, vice-president of Community Living Fort Frances District, this morning. Sold by the board for $1, Community Living hopes to develop the site, possibly as a resource centre, down the road. Also on hand for the ceremony were Laura Mills, superintendent of business for the school board, Community Living board members Alice Ivall and Jennifer Greenhalgh, Community Living executive director Alanna J. Barr, and RRDSB Director of Education Jack McMaster.

Jean Richards admired some jewellery made by Katy McFayden yesterday afternoon at the Fine Line Art Gallery on Mowat Avenue. The gallery is holding an open house to celebrate its 15th year, which continues today and tomorrow. Everyone is invited to drop by for refreshments and browse through a wide array of hand-crafted gifts.

Penny Faragher made sure this tree was decorated just right for the three-day Christmas open house at Northwoods Gallery & Gifts, which began yesterday. Farther down Scott Street, Fort Floral also kicked off the holiday season yesterday with the start of its three-day Christmas open house.
