HENVEY INLET, Ont.—The federal government has announced an investment of $3-million to support a proposed 300 megawatt wind farm project on the Henvey Inlet Indian Reserve, which is midway between Sudbury and Parry Sound, Ont.
The government says the project will guarantee future financial independence and full employment for the Henvey Inlet First Nation and many residents in the surrounding communities.
“Our Government continues to make strategic community investments designed to enhance the participation of Aboriginal peoples in their local economies,” said Tony Clement, president of the Treasury Board and MP for Parry Sound–Muskoka. “This project will stand for many years to come as a source of great pride and economic opportunity for the residents of Henvey Inlet First Nation.”
