The Northern Policy Institute has launched its eighth Experience North Summer Placement Program and there is some local representation.
Every summer, the NPI makes available four-month placements across Northern Ontario where participants learn and gain first-hand experience on policy changes to strengthen and grow communities across the region.
This year Holly Parsons and Lindsay Bain, both representing Sioux Lookout, have been selected.
Parsons will help economists identify, collect, and compile rural and northern indicators developed through local research and partnerships.
Bain will be exploring the progress of treaty implementation both before and after the closure of Ontario’s Treaty Commission.
Here is the list of regional summer placements:
