Attracting new immigrants is one of the main priorities of a new $1 million Canadian government investment in Northern Ontario.
Patty Hajdu and Marcus Powlowski, who are Members of Parliament for the Thunder Bay area announced the million-dollar investment to the Thunder Bay-Superior North region on April 7. The funding is intended to help municipalities and Indigenous communities grow their economies and create well-paying jobs for locals as well as newcomers.
The government is looking to achieve these goals through a number of avenues. One of which includes attracting immigrants to the Thunder Bay-Superior North region by matching skilled workers to what employers need.
