A new perspective for the Economic Development Commission

The Lake of the Woods Economic Development Commission was given a new view on Northwestern Ontario.

Steve Demmings who is the CEO of Thunder Bay's Community Economic Developement Commission was invited to give a a presentation to the LOWEDC at the Discovery Centre.

Demmings talked about the prosperity of mining in the region, the opportunity to use our role as a travel destination to create business partnerships, and that we need to advertise the opportunities for business and growth.

He adds an example is the world class opporunties that come from the expanding mining industry.
