The province started the week with an announcement of $18.7 million for economic development projects in Thunder Bay.
Funding comes from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corp. (NOHFC). Northern Development Minister Greg Rickford made the announcement in an April 11 news release.
Of the 24 projects approved, the province listed just three in the release.
They include:
- $1.5 million for Confederation College to expand and modernize its aviation programs, including purchasing five trainer aircraft and two flight simulators, as well as renovating and upgrading the college’s Aviation Centre of Excellence located at the Thunder Bay International Airport;
- $1.2 million for the City of Thunder Bay to further develop cruise ship docking infrastructure at the former Pool 6 grain elevator waterfront property adjacent to Prince Arthur’s Landing; and
- $477,375 for the Municipality of Oliver Paipoonge to build a car museum to house a collection of racing cars and automotive paraphernalia next to the Founders' Museum and Pioneer Village.
The remainder of the projects are included in this document, which lists all the projects funded through the NOHFC since 2018.
