Premier Helps Build on Strengths of the North

Government Supporting Job Creation in Every Ontario Community

Premier Kathleen Wynne begins a northern tour this week as part of her work to strengthen regional economies.

While in Sudbury, the Premier will tour Crossworks Manufacturing's diamond-cutting and polishing factory, the largest of its kind in North America. Crossworks is training local workers and helping to increase the number of highly skilled diamond cutters and polishers in Canada. She will then head to Lively to visit Industrial Fabrication Inc., a company that makes underground mining vehicles and recently received provincial support to expand through the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation.

Premier Wynne will also visit Kenora for the first time since being sworn-in, and she will be the first Premier in recent history to visit Fort Severn, Ontario's most northern community. She will meet with Aboriginal leaders and deliver new books to children as they head back to school.

Premier Wynne will then head to Thunder Bay to hold a jobs and growth roundtable with business leaders in the community. While there, Premier Wynne will greet children on their first day back to school, and she will attend the opening ceremony for Lakehead University's new Faculty of Law. The Premier will return to Sudbury, where she will attend the opening ceremony for Laurentian University's School of Architecture.

Both universities offer programs that focus on northern issues: For example, Laurentian's architecture students will study principles of design built to sustain northern climates. Lakehead's law program will also help overcome the shortage of lawyers equipped to deal with issues pertaining to northern and rural communities, as well as Aboriginal, natural resource and small- or single-practitioner law.

This latest visit to the North follows Premier Wynne's recent tour of eastern Ontario, during which she visited with several recipients of the Eastern Ontario Development Fund who are expanding their businesses and creating more local jobs.
