Strong and vibrant Aboriginal businesses benefit First Nations, Métis and Inuit, and Ontario as a whole. The Ontario government has a balanced plan that will help build Aboriginal economies, creating new industry, businesses and jobs that will sustain Aboriginal people and communities into the future.
Funding community and business-related projects through capital investments can help improve the quality of life in communities, which in turn can provide a more fertile environment for business and industry to flourish.
Improving access to a wider range of education and training opportunities in more remote communities can improve residents' knowledge and technical skills, enhancing their ability to supply the workforce required for modern business and industry.
