THUNDER BAY – The message was a simple and touchingly human one. The James Street Bridge needs to be open to vehicle traffic. Today a group of carollers gathered at the James Street Bridge to sing Christmas carols, share some holiday spirit, and wish CN Rail a very Merry Christmas. <br /> <br />Event organizer Tony McGuire said, “This is not about politics, it is all about putting a human face on the issue of the bridge being closed”. <br /> <br />McGuire shared that he has friends on the Fort William First Nation who have been seriously impacted by the bridge closure. <br /> <br />The message today was more joyful than a protest, the singers simply want to share a message with CN, and with Canadians that they need the bridge open. <br /> <br />- See more at: http://www.netnewsledger.com/2014/12/23/cn-rail-sent-christmas-greetings
