Saving Communities Group to hold Meet in the Fort

S.T.R.O.N.G. is a Northern Ontario nonprofit group from a dozen communities in Northern Ontario. Its main objective is to prevent the destruction, dismantling and ongoing depopulation of Northern Ontario communities that is happening as a result of poor or discriminatory government policies, as well as the failure of multinational corporations to adapt, reinvest and innovate in Northern Ontario by adding value to the region’s raw resources.
The President of the group, Al Simard will be at CNC in Fort St. James to talk about the experiences which are very similar to ours.
"Despite contributing enormously to provincial government coffers, both regions have a profound sense of alienation from the provincial legislatures and corporate boardrooms to the South."
