News Release
August 5, 2016 Visits to Northern Communities Will Focus on Economic Growth and Jobs Premier Kathleen Wynne will visit schools, hospitals, businesses, Indigenous communities and other groups across Northern Ontario from August 6 to 12 to listen to local ideas and highlight how the government is supporting economic growth and job creation in the North. During the week, the Premier will announce a series of investments relating to infrastructure, health care and other measures to enhance public services and help accelerate economic growth in existing and emerging sectors. She will also meet with people from organizations across the North to discuss how the government can help ensure that people in every corner of Ontario prosper and have the opportunity to achieve their full potential. The Premier will visit more than a dozen communities, including Sudbury, Espanola, Little Current, Elliot Lake, Blind River, Sault Ste. Marie, Batchawana Bay, Wawa, Fort Frances, Emo, Dryden, Kenora, Sioux Lookout, Moosonee, Moose Factory, North Bay, New Liskeard and Kirkland Lake. Investing to support Northern Ontario is part of the government’s economic plan to build Ontario up and deliver on its number-one priority to grow the economy and create jobs. The four-part plan includes helping more people get and create the jobs of the future by expanding access to high-quality college and university education. The plan is making the largest infrastructure investment in hospitals, schools, roads, bridges and transit in Ontario’s history and is investing in a low-carbon economy driven by innovative, high-growth, export-oriented businesses. The plan is also helping working Ontarians achieve a more secure retirement. |

Its a tidbit of info saultites the radio detail about Wynne’s visit to areas detailed a visit plus funding and grants to every community. Except Sault ste Marie. The Sault wasn’t even discussed on the news brief as a stop. This is just a way to say look what our funding is doing while they stab us in the back and raise PUC more. Don’t fall for Wynne’s garbage. We can’t afford to live now with the rates. Give us a rebate or a reasonable rate not a grant and who tours schools when they are on summer break. What a joke.
I have an idea for Wynne, take down those ugly Goliath wind mills on the shores of Lake Superior. They have destroyed what was once a naturally beautiful landscape. And for what, a subsidized energy source that is all but useless.
