FedNor is contributing $144,4000 to the Town of Temagami for completion of a project to convert the community's former train station to a year-round tourist attraction.
The Temagami Station Restoration Trust raised $290,000 to complete a portion of the project, which would see the facility developed into an archive and living museum area, with the waiting room and telegraph office restored to their original appearance.
The venue, which draws about 5,000 visitors annually, has the potential to attract about 20,000 visitors a year once completed and would provide a boost to the tourism industry in the North, officials say.
