Meet the Minister for FedNor

Tony Clement

Fellow Northerners:

This year marks an important milestone for FedNor. For 25 years, FedNor has been the Government of Canada’s economic development organization responsible for providing programs and services to Northern Ontario. Since its establishment in 1987, FedNor has served as a catalyst for job creation, diversification and business growth in this great region.

As you will see from the many success stories to be published on this website, there is much to celebrate. You’ll read about innovative projects, community initiatives and business ventures that FedNor has supported throughout the years, resulting in job creation, economic growth and a better way of life for all Northerners.

The FedNor website also offers you the information needed to determine how best we can assist you, your business or your organization in meeting your strategic goals and in strengthening economic growth in the North.

As Minister for FedNor, and on behalf of the Government of Canada, I look forward to working in partnership with business and community leaders, First Nations, municipalities and youth across Northern Ontario to contribute to strategic investments that will help this great region continue to progress and prosper.

Here’s to another 25 great years!

The Honourable Tony Clement
