Province yet to contact the City regarding new Northern economic strategy

The Manitoba government says they’re planning consultations with Northern Leaders to develop a strategy for economic development for the North, but Mayor Dennis Fenske says the City hasn’t been contacted:

 

"I understand there was an announcement yesterday in Churchill, in a northern strategy, that’s nice to hear, but we are a little disappointed in the fact that we still haven’t been contacted in regards to involvement in that".

 

Aboriginal and Northern Affairs Minister Eric Robinson made the announcement in Churchill this week.

 

According to a news release sent out by the province, a series of regional and community forums will be scheduled over the next several months.

 

The initiative is part of the province’s ‘Opportunities North’ program.
