This week, members of our leadership team had the opportunity to connect with key stakeholders in our region at an informal reception hosted by Marcus Powlowski, M.P. for Thunder Bay—Rainy River.

Attendees included the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Indigenous Services Canada, The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations and representatives from Fort William First Nation, Muskrat Dam First Nation, Seven Generations Education Institute, Thunder Bay Police Services, Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, Lakehead University, Confederation College, and several local business owners.

The event provided a valuable opportunity to engage with our federal government partners and highlight Northwestern Ontario as a unique region, based on population and geography. We were also able to network with representatives from a number of Indigenous communities and organizations to discuss potential future partnerships and collaborations.
