Seven Indigenous-focused initiatives in northwestern Ontario will share in more than $2.5 million in federal funding for projects designed to support economic development and job creation in the region.

“Supporting Indigenous-led initiatives isn’t just about economic reconciliation — it’s about recognizing that Northern Ontario thrives when Indigenous knowledge, leadership and innovation help shape our shared future,” Hajdu said in the release.
