Almost half a million dollars is going towards the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot project.
The Community Economic Development Commission is one of several Thunder Bay-Superior North initiatives that will receive support from FedNor.
FedNor, which stands for the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario, is investing $490,500 to help the CEDC with the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot.
“[The money] will help maintain our three year contract for a program coordinator,” CEDC CEO Eric Zakrewski said. “It’s a local position in our office that helps administer the program under a deal with the federal government.”
The CEO notes the money will also be used for promotion and education.
