Ontario's labour groups will be given area residents another avenue to talk about how the economy is hurting them.
The Ontario Federation of Labour will kick off its "Drive to Work" caravan in Kenora on June 8th with stopped planned in Dryden, Fort Frances and Atikokan.
Luc Quesnel of the Communication, Energy and Paperworkers Union says the campaign will help get northerners concerns heard.
"The noise and the publicity we're going to get," says Quesnel, with the president of the OFL going on this campaign starting in Kenora, it will be a good response especially with the way a lot of the industries are going and there's starting to be some talk federal and provincially. We'll see what happens."
Labour officials will also be promoting a buy-Ontario policy to the area's municipal leaders.
