New Northern Ontario skills centre planned

GREENSTONE, ONT.

A new regional skills training centre will be built at the Greenstone, Ont. airport in Northern Ontario, thanks to provincial and federal funds.

The Ontario and the Canadian governments will each invest $1,750,000 to enable the Geraldton Community Forest (GCF) to build the training facility, which will serve as a hub for regional labour force training opportunities.

It will house 10 training rooms, a series of meeting rooms, a computer lab and offices.

GCF is a not-for-profit organization whose goals include creating employment opportunities that support the local economy.

Once complete, this 13,500-square-foot facility is expected to assist in realizing employment opportunities from the Ring of Fire area and other resource development activity in the area.

Identified as a regional priority, this strategic initiative is expected to create or retain 27 jobs, as well as another 30 construction jobs.
