There is relief for some First Nation communities in remote parts of northwestern Ontario.

The federal government is providing $3.8 million in fuel-delivery subsidies.

Kenora M-P Greg Rickford says it helps remote communities deal with the deteriorating winter-road situation.

Rickford says they're now working with communities leaders on how to distribute the money.
