THUNDER BAY — More than $2.5 million in federal funding was announced Tuesday for seven Indigenous-led economic development projects across Northwestern Ontario.

“Indigenous economic development is really critically important to the economy of Northern Ontario and in fact, when Indigenous communities and organizations have an opportunity to prosper, whether it’s through skills training for people, whether it’s through supporting small and medium sized business, that’s when they contribute to the growth of our local and regional economy,” said Patty Hajdu, Minister of Indigenous Services.

Hajdu was at the Neeganii-Iishawin economic development gathering, where she made the announcement, to “talk about the importance of economic reconciliation especially when we see Canada’s sovereignty and economic independence under threat.”
