Supporting Economic Development in the North

• Promoting fairness, opportunity, and inclusive growth by investing $85 million over the next three years, increasing Northern Ontario Heritage Fund (NOHFC) funding to $150 million in 2020-21 and introducing new NOHFC programs. The new programs will support socioeconomic infrastructure projects and large-scale transformational investment opportunities that facilitate job creation and retention, productivity and innovation in the North.
• Partnering with Indigenous communities to work towards the sustainable development of the Ring of Fire region through our $1 billion strategic transportation infrastructure development commitment, including our work to construct a year-round access road into the proposed mining development site which would also include connections to Webequie, Martin Falls, and Nibinamik First Nations. This investment is further supported through commitments to $30 million to the Matawa First Nations Management to improve access to distance education, skills training and new business opportunities for five Matawa-member communities, as part of a joint federal-provincial government broadband investment of up to $69.2 million to install approximately 880 kilometres of new fibre optic cable to these communities.
