Kenora-Rainy River MPP Howard Hampton is encouraging Rainy River district municipalities to have good working relations with First Nation communities.
Speaking at the Rainy River District Municipal Association meeting, Hampton says it ensure the entire district can benefit from a blossoming mining industry.
"It is really important for our collective future and for our collective economic future," says Hampton. "In many cases, those working relationships already exist and have existed for some time."
Hampton says mining companies are looking to the Rainy River area because it's easy to access and infrastructure and the workforce needed are already in place.
