Fort Frances, Ontario

Riley Pollard

I run a small handful of local businesses out of Fort Frances — a canteen at the Memorial Sports Centre, short-term stays, and tech services for other local businesses. All of it stays close to home.

I also serve as a Director on the Fort Frances Lakers Board and the Rainy River Future Development Board.

Recognition

Two awards that mean more to me than most line items.

Youth Entrepreneur Award

For building these businesses from the ground up, locally.

Customer Service Award

For how the Canteen, Pine & Stone, and Rainy Lake Tech treat people.

What I run

One home base, three businesses.

Rainy Lake Trading Co. is the umbrella — not a storefront on its own, just where it all comes from. These are the three that operate day to day.
