From the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario – FedNor
The Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario – FedNor– announced new investments totalling $2,210,299 in support of four community and business growth initiatives in the Muskoka region. The Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Indigenous Services and Minister responsible for FedNor, made the announcement during a visit to the Muskoka airport, which included a tour of Muskoka Aircraft Refinishing.
Provided through FedNor’s core programs and the Government of Canada’s Aerospace Regional Recovery Initiative (ARRI), the investments will support a variety of strategic initiatives such as helping Muskoka Aircraft Refinishing and Sawdust City Brewing Company expand, adopt state-of-the-art technology, increase revenue and reduce their environmental footprint. Today’s announcement will also create two new opportunities for young Canadians to secure meaningful employment by helping Muskoka Arts & Crafts Incorporated and Muskoka Chautauqua hire youth interns for a one-year period.
FedNor is investing in the Muskoka Region! Today’s announcement of close to $2.2 million will help Muskoka Aircraft Refinishing and Sawdust City Brewing Company expand, and give Muskoka Arts & Crafts Incorporate and Muskoka Chautauqua the opportunity to bring in new talent. FedNor is investing in the growth and potential of northern Ontario, and driving our contribution to a thriving Canadian economy.
We’re thrilled that FedNor is stepping up to help us modernize the brewery so we can expand and meet increased demand. Acquiring new cutting-edge processing equipment will allow us to reduce downtime and waste, while increasing efficiencies, production and the shelf life of our exceptional craft beers.
