Northern Ontario’s ailing tourism industry got a boost from the federal government on Saturday with an announcement of $7.6 million in funding to help spur sector growth.
The funds will contribute to 36 tourism initiatives led by communities, businesses, and organizations in the region.
FedNor made the announcement to coincide with National Tourism Week, which ran between May 24 and 31.
Here in Sudbury, Science North received a little over $1 million to develop the Jane Goodall Reasons for Hope IMAX Film and Skill-Share Program.
