Thank you to Chief Wayne Smith & Council for a momentous day in Naicatchewenin First Nation.
 
The Treaty Day celebrations were an opportunity to come together in honour and remembrance of those that couldn't be with us to see their longstanding efforts come to fruition.

Today, we announced the historic settlement of the flooding claim between Naicatchewenin First Nation, Canada, and Ontario.
 
Our government is proud of the progress we have been able to make in lockstep with First Nations across the province.

Brantford-Brant Cadet Day at the Ontario Legislature is one of my favourite days of the year! Today we honoured and recognized the top cadets from their respective corps and saluted them for their dedication to making our community a better place! Well done!

We are investing in innovative renewable energy solutions that promote partnerships in the Northeast.
 
The NOHFC is proud to support Renewable Resource Recovery Corp’s technology at the Coniston Seniors Housing Complex which is being studied closely by students from afar.

Joined by my colleagues at the Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities annual conference to hear from municipal representatives on important opportunities in the Northeast.
 
Together, we are focused on unlocking the North’s economic potential for a more prosperous future for all.

Sudbury’s Kivi Park continues to be a sought after tourism destination in the Northeast, and now has a NOHFC -supported maintenance building, improving operations and efficiencies for staff & volunteers.

We are getting it done for families, residents and tourists of the North.

Stopped by the Lasalle Animal Clinic to check out their new and improved space.
 
With NOHFC funding, the clinic nearly doubled the size of their hospital, enabling them to help more animals and address the need of veterinary services in the North.

Nothing makes me smile more than exchanging texts with my daughters and having a Smile Cookie from Tim Hortons in support of local charities.

Get one before they’re gone. #SmileCookies
