‘Our government is continuing to make strategic investments to support Indigenous-led businesses that are creating jobs and driving economic growth throughout the province.’
KENORA — Since April, beef has been coming in from Penokean Hills Farms near Sault Ste. Marie to Grand Council Treaty #3 (GCT3) for distribution to communities across the treaty territory.
It’s a successful partnership to improve food access in First Nations, and Greg Rickford says the province is proud to assist the project this summer with $250,000 from the Indigenous Economic Development Fund.
“They’re doing some really exciting work in large-scale food distribution,” Rickford, minister of Indigenous affairs and First Nations economic reconciliation, said of GCT3’s Treaty 3 Investment Group.
