An Alliance of First Nation and non-First Nation leaders representing rights holders, stakeholders, municipal leaders, unions, and Ontario’s forest sector has been formed to defend a way of life, with a mandate to grow the responsible use of natural resources in northern and rural Ontario.
In partnership with The Ottawa Airport Authority and Aeroterm, First Air has submitted two separate applications to the National Trade Corridors Fund (NTCF). This Government of Canada program was announced mid-2017 to provide funding for infrastructure projects that help support the flow of goods and passengers throughout the transportation system by reducing bottlenecks and addressing capacity issues. Ensuring that Canada’s northern communities benefit from these important infrastructure projects was identified as an important priority for the NTCF.
