Pikangikum First Nation will be home to a new Aboriginal
Training Centre.
The Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation is
providing almost 49-thousand dollars to the project.
The Provincial government feels the training centre will
promote career development among Aboriginal youth.
The money will be used for the next phase of the
Whitefeather Forest Teaching and Training Centre, which
includes securing partnershp arrangements and completing
an implementation plan.
The Pikangikum First Nation is working with the Ontario
Government to obtain commercial forestry tenure and
stweardship responsibilities on a portion of their
traditional land use area, the Whitefeather Forest.
