The provincial government is once again helping small and rural communities in the north modernize their services.
Municipal Affairs Minister Steve Clark says he’s providing more than $57 million to launch a third intake of the Municipal Modernization Program and Audit and Accountability Fund.
Clark says these flexible investments will help municipalities find savings and recover from the pandemic.
Some northwestern Ontario communities took advantage of previous funding intakes, including Dryden, Red Lake and Ignace.
Dryden, for example, received money to implement an online Recreation Booking system.
