The Ministry of Northern Development has created a new entrepreneur program that will help fuel the region’s economic growth.
The initiative will encourage residents to put their business ideas into action by providing up to $125,000 in grant funding.
Minister Michael Gravelle says residents of any age can apply for the funding immediately and can find an application form online at the Ministry website.
The Northern Ontario Entrepreneur program was one of the key recommendation in the Rosehart report.
Gravelle made the announcement Tuesday.
