Chris here from MPP Bouma’s office.

The Ring of Fire has the potential to create incredible economic opportunities in Ontario. Our government has always worked to build meaningful partnerships with First Nations communities that moves this project forward. We’re committed to supporting the development of the Ring of Fire.

The government must consult very seriously and I know that we can work with indigenous communities and municipalities to form lasting partnerships.

Our government is already supporting Webequie and Marten Falls First Nations with plans to construct all-season roads to the Ring of Fire. These communities are taking action to upgrade existing provincial highways south and west of the Ring of Fire.

We will continue to support projects that get us a step closer to reaching the rich mineral deposits in the Ring of Fire.
