Growth Plan Consultations Planned

The provincial government will hold ten consultation sessions on the Northern Growth Plan starting next month.

The plan, released Friday, contains a number of recommendations aimed at improving the region's economy.

Northern Development Minister Michael Gravelle the proposed plan is very comprehensive.


"There's about 100 actionable recommendations that are in place," says Gravelle, "and our goal now is to move forward. We're very pleased the document is now available and it can get into the hands of northerners who were involved in the process. We invite all northerners to look at the document, see if it what reflects what they told us and then give us the blessing to move forward and put it into action."


Consultations will be held in Thunder Bay, Kenora and Sioux Lookout.
