Two Northwest First Nations Share Funding

Two first nation communities in northwestern Ontario are sharing a chunk of money from the province.

The Big Island First Nation near Morson will be getting just over 500 thousand dollars to help develop a seven thousand square foot business center.

The 1.5 million dollar project will include a gas bar, a grocery store, gift shop and post office.

The Bearskin Lake First Nation has been promised 750 thousand dollars to help
expand its community center.

The 1.4 million dollar project is expected to be complete next year.
