Duchess link for casino mogul and Calgary ties
Frank Sisson, Calgary casino owner and Duchess area native, was honored at the 52nd annual B'nai Brith dinner for business insight and charity. The piece traces his family’s Duchess roots, early jobs, and 1983 purchase of a Pepsi plant to expand his entertainment and casino operations. It also recalls local memories of Bill Hunter and notes Connaught School’s 90th birthday mural project and local business updates.
