Boat launch refurbishments are amongst two dozen tourism-related initiatives getting a $4.9 million increase from the province.
The Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC) funding goals to create jobs, develop enterprise operations, stimulate financial growth, and appeal to guests to the north, the Ministry of Northern Development said on Nov. 22, 2022.
The funding consists of $110,520 for the Local Services Board of Lac St-Thérèse to refurbish a dock and boat launch, and $76,845 for the Township of The North Shore to rehabilitate its causeway and refurbish two boat launch amenities.
Potential ‘limitless’
“Northern Ontario is an incredibly scenic region, with limitless potential for tourism,” Minister Greg Rickford said. “These investments will help northern tourism operations expand their offerings, create jobs and promote regional prosperity, while showcasing this beautiful part of Ontario to visitors from across the province and around the world.”
Since June 2018, the NOHFC has invested greater than $575 million in 4,835 initiatives in northern Ontario, leveraging greater than $1.86 billion in funding and creating or sustaining greater than 7,770 jobs, officers said.
