Province Launches Northern Policy Institute

August 31, 2012

Ontario is launching the Northern Policy Institute to boost the northern economy and help provide a stronger voice to Northern Ontario.

The institute, an independent, not-for-profit organization, will monitor the implementation of the Growth Plan for Northern Ontario and make provincial policy recommendations for the region. It will work with northern municipalities, post-secondary institutions, research groups, Aboriginal organizations, francophone groups and industry to set priorities and directions for northern development.

The Northern Policy Institute is proceeding under the direction of two advisors -- Dr. Brian Stevenson, president of Lakehead University, and Dominic Giroux, president of Laurentian University. They will provide guidance to the institute, which will be based out of their respective universities in Thunder Bay and Sudbury.

Investing in Northern Ontario's communities is part of the Ontario government's plan to strengthen the economy. A strong northern economy creates local jobs and protects the services that mean the most to families -- health care and education.
