The Chief Executive Officer of the Northern Policy Institute is spreading the word on what the organization has been doing since its inception 13 months ago.
Charles Cirtwell says they’re trying to create an online community consultation tool that will gather public feedback on Provincial Government policies.
Cirtwell says they want to know what the needs of the north are and how the government is responding.
He says the consultation will determine if the Northern Ontario Growth plan is working and is the government holding true to its promises to the north.
It will also outline individual community concerns.
The Northern Policy Institute is also reviewing the Federal Aboriginal Education Act.
Cirtwell says the study will look at the current structure and if current policies are working.
Cirtwell spoke at the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association Conference in Thunder Bay on Thursday.
