Sep 20, 2024
FedNor is investing in 18 Indigenous-led projects across northern Ontario to help support economic development.
A total of $6,899,535 is headed to the organizations.
“Today’s investment of nearly $7 million into Indigenous-led business across Northern Ontario will support development in remote and rural Indigenous communities, creating good stable jobs, and helping to grow an economy that works for everyone,” said the Minister responsible for FedNor, Patty Hadju.
The projects include expanding and developing locally-led community and business support services and creating locally-driven economic development corporations.
They will also contribute towards new construction and renovation initiatives involving community infrastructure and land development and completing several critical studies and strategic plans.
