Provincial Funding For Two Projects

The provincial government is shelling out over $1.2-million to a couple of first nations in northwestern Ontario.
Bearskin Lake will receive $750,000 to help expand its community centre.
The $1.4-million project is scheduled to be completed next year.
Meanwhile, the Big Island First Nation on Lake of the Woods near Morson has been promised just over $500,000 for a new 7,000 square foot business centre.
The $1.5-million facility will include a grocery store, a gift shop, a gas bar and post office.
