FedNor's support will contribute to keynote speakers at the conference who will provide quality learning opportunities and critical expertise for attendees.
The funds announced today are provided through FedNor's Northern Ontario Development Program, through which FedNor invests in projects led by municipalities, First Nations, and other organizations and institutions that support community economic development, diversification, job creation, and self-reliant communities in Northern Ontario.
