Pikangikum First Nation Builds Training Facility - McGuinty Government Investment Will Prepare Workers For New Job Opportunities

September 16, 2009

Aboriginal workers in Northwestern Ontario will soon be able to train for jobs in forestry, tourism and mining at a new education facility. 

In preparation for the upcoming consultation sessions (see press release below) different groups are preparing material to present to the government concerning building and sustaining the forests for local, value added enterprises and economic development initiatives. The concept of Community Forests is once again being considered by some as a viable alternative to the corporate exploitation of this valuable resource that is presently occurring.
